The beahms come to boston

This past weekend Chris and Melissa came up to visit Lynn and I in Boston. Chris and Melissa were the first family members from my side that we have seen since the wedding, so we were really excited they decided to make the trip up here! It was also Chris's first time to Boston since he was 6, so it was cool to be his New England tour guide. Chris and Melissa flew in Friday around noon, so Lynn took a half-day and we brought them back up to Beverly for lunch. We then headed over to GCTS to give them a quick tour of campus, and then headed up to Newburyport, a summer hot-spot on the North Shore. Unfortunately it was in the 40's and raining, so we mostly stayed in the shops around Newburyport, most of those being candy/fudge shops. We always said it was for Melissa and the baby, but we all definitely enjoyed the fudge, and chocolate covered peeps. We then got dinner at a place called Grog, which turned out to be one of the best meals Melissa says she has ever had!Saturday morning I headed in to Boston for my weekend class and then met up with Lynn, Chris and Melissa for lunch at M.I.T., in which we determined that Chris would have gone to M.I.T. if we had grown up in Mass. We then walked around Boston a little bit, seeing the Boston Common, Newbury St. and finally Fenway before heading back to Beverly for Lynn's homemade pizza and the UNC-Nova game. Sunday morning we enjoyed a big waffle breakfast and then went over to Jaho coffee shop in Salem for a while before taking Chris and Melissa to the aiport. We loved spending time with them this weekend and hosting them on our stomping ground! We welcome any other family visitors this summer! Thanks for coming up Chris and Melissa, we had an awesome time, and are looking forward to seeing you guys this summer and welcoming baby beahm in to the world!Oh yea, we found out this weekend that Melissa and baby Beahm really like grapes too!!! :)- MAB
