We spent our last night before our move with neighbors extracting honey to the tunes of Al Green on vinyl. With high anxieties and fragile emotions it was exactly what the family needed to get our minds off the change ahead. The sweet smell of honey, the bitter taste of beer and the sound of a turntable made for a perfect last night in Cambridge. Take a look a few images from a memorable evening.

Thank you LB & MT.

For the next month while we await the arrival of our belongings at our new home, the kids and I will be spending time in New Jersey with family then heading up to Maine with friends for one last East Coast hooray. Our one-way tickets to California are booked for July 27th.

I'm looking forward to our adventures but am anxious to get our West Coast life started.
