Family Vacation


As the three of us have gotten older, it has become less and less often that "vacation" actually has involved us all leaving the house together. Throughout college vacation symbolized returning home. Not this year! We were so fortunate to be able to get all 5 of us down to Myrtle Beach for some relaxing family fun! What a blast it was! I'm still recovering (read my shoulders are peeling) but it was well worth the pain to see the family!
Family Vacations have always been one of my favorite things we do- from christmas dinner on the curb in Guam, to Bali and the eager salesmen, to Banff and lots of laughing, to cross country road trips in a minivan with The Singing Bible! Our vacations are never dull and certainly bring us closer together!! this latest one proved to be no different and i'm already excited about the next time the Killmer's can be together again!!

Finally Summer

So June was rainy here in Boston. The "official" number I heard was 4 sunny days... that means 26 of clouds and rain.... wow!
But then July rolled around. Friends came from the midwest to celebrate the 4th in the place where it all started and they brought the sun with them!! We toured Boston and even went on a harbor boat cruise during sunset on the 4th and got to see fireworks from there! An incredible weekend full of fun, catching up, and even a flat tire!




















Then I got the awesome opportunity to get a tour of Maine from Bowdoin College alum (and my roommates!) It was great to finally see the places I've heard so much about this past year and to finally get to the beautiful state of Maine. Truly "vacationland" as their license plates say! 
(pictures from the weekend: trip to LL Bean Mothership Store, Lobster eating on an island!, swimming in freezing water, being at Lands End!)
