Trip to Maine and Massachusetts

We took our biennial trip to Maine and Massachusetts last week. For me most of the trip was work related, I was teaching at the Annual Course in Flow Cytometry. On our Wed afternoon off we visited the Maine Botanical Gardens. It was a nice day and the gardens were really pretty.

Here is David ready for the banquet dinner, trying to fit in:

He had to inspect this new type of food:After almost a week in Maine we drove down to the outskirts of Boston to visit my family. My mom had been visiting my Grandma so she got to see David for the first time since he was 3 weeks old:

Here is David with his Great Grandma:
Here are my Aunt and Uncle singing David fun songs:

David visited a very fun park for the first time, he thought it was great fun:We took the train in to Boston and visited the aquarium, David really enjoyed watching the fish in the big tank.

Denver

We decided to drive up to Colorado for Memorial Day weekend, David's first trip out of state.

One of our first stops was the Broncos' Stadium:


We took a tour of the stadium, which I highly recommend. David tried out of of the box seats, he will be pretty disappointed in the seats for his first real game I think:
Of course David and Robert had to get matching Tebow (Broncos future quarter back) jerseys:
On Memorial Day we participated in the 10k Bolder Boulder, along with about 47,000 other people! David thought it was a cinch and fell asleep on mom's back for at least half of it:
We even saw Santa! There were some people in costumes doing the race, lots of people in their yards cheering, and quite a few garage bands playing along the way:
The finish line was at the Colorado university stadium, this is the only race I will ever do where there are this many people cheering at the finish:
Robert and David happy to be done and enjoying a pretty day:
For more excitement, when we got home we decided David was ready to start food. First up, avocado:

This pretty much sums up what he thought, he only ate a couple of pieces, the next day he was a little more interested.
