The day after Rob and Colleen’s wedding we all got some free hotel breakfast and then started parting ways. We dropped Billy at the Portland airport where he was catching a flight to LA for business. The rest of us drove to Boston. Killian and Liz then rented their own car and continued on to see a friend in Connecticut and Liz’s brother in Brooklyn. Ging was working in Boston for a few days and took the T to meet some friends.
Dallas and I planned on having dinner with Ross, Matt and Molly and then catching our flight from Boston to Chicago. One little thing. When we got to Ross’s house in Beacon Hill he didn’t feel well. His shoulder hurt… like really bad. Turns out he’d dislocated it. He’d done it a few times in
the past and is to the point where it comes out easy, I guess. We all walked him down to the emergency room at Mass General and sat there as long as we could with him. I’ll spare Ross the embarrassment of posting the photo I have of him in a wheelchair.
While waiting we looked at photo albums from Matt and Molly’s wedding, which we attended in Connecticut in June. Finally we had to leave to catch our flight. We stopped at Anna’s Taqueria, Dallas’ favorite, to grab food to eat at the airport and then went home.

Lounging on the lawn.

One of the Jonas Brothers. Just kidding. I think this was one of Colleen’s cousins.

Mingling in the yard and on the deck.

Talking in the driveway.

Emily, Ging, Billy, Dallas and Phil playing frisbee game.
After Rob and Colleen’s wedding reception everyone headed back to Colleen’s parent’s house. The kids played out on the lawn all night, we drank the beer that Rob made, and there were lots of smores. I think this was the first wedding that featured frisbee game!
Billy, Ging, Killian, Liz, Dallas and I were all staying at the same hotel in Harpswell. When we got back we hit the free nacho bar and then ordered some late-night pizza from Papa John’s. Man, I hadn’t had Papa John’s for about a decade. It was good. We gorged on it while watching one of the Lord of the Rings movies.

At Colleen and Rob’s wedding reception, Keegan and Cael, two of Colleen’s nephews, were having the greatest time pretend fishing with their “fishing poles.” Could they look more classically New England?!?
