We flew to Maine in the summer of 2006, where we met our 5 granddaughters, to attend nephew Doug Johnson's wedding to Michelle, a wedding on the ocean front. It was a very cold day (note the sweaters).
Our son Bill joined us there also. Then the 9 of us spent several days in the Boston area, sightseeing. We stayed in Salem, MA and took the commuter train to Boston every day, and traveled about the city on the subway. It's hard to find a place to park in the old historic district.
Our granddaughters live in Florence, SC and Austin, TX. Pictured here, left to right, are sisters Nerissa, Caroline and Katie. Next are sisters from Texas, Elizabeth (Lizzy) and on the end is Allison (Ally). We don't get to see them at the same time very often and this was such a fun time to all get together. We were all together last Nov. for our son James' 50th birthday party. I hope we can do something like this again before they graduate from college and get jobs, get married, etc. The oldest, Lizzy, goes to the Univ. of Texas and is a biology/pre-med major; Ally is in her second year at North Tex. University in Denton, TX; Nerissa is interested in some field of nursing and will start to Clemson Univ in SC on Aug. 18th. Katie will be a Jr. at West Florence HS in Florence, SC and Caroline will turn 12 just a few days after school starts and will be in the 6th grade. She asked if Grandpa and I would be able to attend her high school gradation. She must think we are getting old!

Going to the wedding and Boston with you guys was a lot of fun! It was great that we could all ride in the van together, with grandpa at the helm!
