On Saturday we went to see the Lowell Spinners, a minor league baseball team, play the Vermont Lake Monsters. We had a great time, although it seems that Patrick's attention may have been distracted from the game by the multitude of inning and half inning shows (a dog catching frisbees, irish dancers, sub eating contest, the chicken dance and the list goes on).
We had another wonderful time in Paris. Springtime is definitely the right time to go. The weather is predictably beautiful, the flowers are in bloom, the parks are green and it stays light out until 10pm. The highlights of the trip included several visits to the Eiffel Tower, which Patrick now recognizes and, has since our return asked to see! We also took a very nice ride on the river Seine and saw many beautiful monuments. For Patrick, the best part of that trip was the seats which snapped back up when unfolded. We went around Paris looking for playgrounds and enjoying public transportation, ahh - the metro, the autobus and the train. Every time we got off one, Patrick would ask to get back on. To help we would say "goodbye metro/bus/train". Of course golf was on the daily schedule, at the house, at the park, at Papi's. All in all it was a great time.
