Western Mass

Ah, Horton hears a Hoo! Doesn't that take us all back childhood? Ashley and I stopped in Springfield, MA to see the Dr. Suess Sculpture Garden. And this picture is the result! Good stuff.

The trip to western Mass from Framingham was uneventful. And fast - things in MA are much closer together than they are in Colorado, so we were both surprised how easy it was to drive across the state!

Now we are staying in a Quality Inn, and feeling incredilby spoiled with our work-out room, indoor pool, free breakfast, and free wireless internet.

Some interesting family stuff for me is that my great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great grandfather was massacred here back in the 1600's - In this very town where I am typing a message to all of you on my laptop. His son is buried in the local cememtary and I'm hoping we have a chance to stop by and see it. How many of us in the US can find headstones for our ancestors that date back to the 1600s?? It's an uncommon thing!

Work is going well - and despite the fact that we get paid to travel, it really is work! We have had a pretty successful week so far (or at least we think so!) But next week should be a bit busier - we'll be in Boston, sans car, travelling via public transport and cabs. And we have a lot scheduled. So we'll be running around like crazy, no doubt!

More pictures soon and more of an update shortly as well!
