Kristen and I made what will likely be our last trip to NYC for a while in April. It was cool to be a short flight / train ride away, and hopefully we can get back some day.
That's Derek in the third picture below. I'm pretty sure I ended up in one of his near that same arch.
So it's been a while since I posted...Kristen and I have moved to the Minneapolis area so I suppose I am no longer a 'Sooner in Boston', but I'll keep updating this site instead of making you look somewhere else.
Before we left, Kristen and I went up to visit Burlington, Vermont for the weekend. It's a really neat little town with a great downtown area. It's also home to the Ben and Jerry's ice cream factory and the Magic Hat brewery. I highly recommend visiting if you get the chance but if you drive, pack water and snacks because there isn't a whole lot on the drive.
Kristen and I went on a Caribbean cruise right before Christmas, stopping in Haiti and Jamaica. Unfortunately, it rained both days so we didn't really get a chance to get off the boat when it was in port. Still, it was a lot of fun and a very relaxing week.
Mallory and Derek came to visit in October, and we did the walk around the Freedom Trail. If you have never been to Boston, it goes through some historic and very interesting areas. The gravestones in the picture below were over 300 years old.
Kristen was able to get tickets to the Patriots' preseason game against the Bengals back in August, which was a great experience. Unfortunately, my camera was not welcome at Gillette Stadium, so the pocket point-and-shoot had to stand in. Nevertheless, the game was compelling (as far as Games That Don't Count But Still Cost Regular-Season Prices To Attend), and it was nice to see former Sooner Roy Wiiliams and OKC native Wes Welkahhhhh (I believe I have the pronunciation correct).
Oh, and a big Chill Shades Bro to the guy in the fourth image.
