-Boston 2004-
Being able to see where Vince grew up was
wonderful. I was able to meet a lot more of his family and all of
the friends I have heard so much about.Vince and I are very
opposite in the way we grew up and our families and getting to know his
background more and more is great. His family is so wonderful and
was so welcoming to me. The funnest times I had in Boston were
with Vince's family and friends.
The day we arrived in Boston Lucy and George
invited us to dinner at their home. It was good fun meeting them and
hearing hilarious stories of their family and Vinny's childhood.
George and Lucy also have two absolutely adorable kids, Eli and J.R.
that entertained us quite a bit!; Vince's cousin George gave me a
fabulous tour of downtown Boston the next afternoon. We saw Beacon
Hill, the 'Cheers' bar, Boston Common and Newbury Street among others.
I was able throughout our entire vacation to
also meet Vince's other cousins, Johnny, Nina, Fadia and Angelo and
their families. We had such a good time with them all. I'm
now able to put almost the whole family tree together in my head!
Spending time with Vince's friends was
fantastic. I've heard so many stories and experiences and to
finally put faces to the names was great. I have to admit I was
very nervous meeting everyone but that feeling definitely disappeared as
soon as I met everyone. Meeting the people that mean so much to Vince
was very important.
