This past weekend we went up to Hull, Massachusetts to attend our good friend Cecilia's wedding. We timed it perfectly heading up Friday afternoon during nap time and Bridget slept most of the way there. We took her to the rehearsal dinner Friday night for a little while. She was taking it all in, people got a kick out of her. Then we went back to the hotel and put her to bed, Meg returned to the party and I konked out on the bed...as is our custom, we got up at 5 a.m, why not get an early jump on the day and played, went out for a walk, out to breakfast (arriving before the place even opened) and explored the hotel... Bridget saw some of the ceremony, but I had to take her out when she started asking questions (what is this?)... I went to the first two hours of the reception and Meg watched her (we were originally going to leave her with our friends' two young boys and their sitter, but it turned out that he got really sick)...I took Bridget out to dinner to Starz, a diner type place meg and I used to go to on occasion in Hingham. They have good food, lots of people, very reasonable, great place for her. She ate really well, not always a given in a restaurant. We then went for a walk in the dark on the boardwalk along the water, asking questions all along the way. ..there must have been a big game because we saw a schoolbus filled with cheering kids, along with a fire truck and police car with sirens flashing, other cars honking... Bridget is still asking about this schoolbus and firetruck.. it is fascinating to watch her try to make sense of the world, by finding patterns.... meg took up after me.. Bridget slept pretty well and we went to Starz, and World's End, a gorgeous park on the water in Hingham. Bridget was adorable in her full blue coat and pink bunny hat, got lots of comments... she didn't sleep on the way home, but didn't make a fuss, what a trooper.
