eating and surfing

Hello from Avery and Bea in Vermont! Here is a picture of us sitting at Nell's table trying out some new food. It's all so new and exciting! We are looking forward to meeting everybody real soon. Oh, and we want to learn to surf like Pascale and Isaac.
Bye bye!

logistics

Anyone have insights about the best way to get to the reunion from here in the Northeast? Specifically, does it make more sense to fly into one of the closer airports (Jacksonville or New Berne) even though there are no direct flights & it means changing planes, plus is a bit more expensive? Is the extra distance to Raleigh-Durham significant? I'm likely to be flying down with Bea but without Stu, so convenience is a big factor. How have other people solved this problem?

PS- I was checking flights from both New York & Boston, because Stu will likely be flying from Boston. Kayak.com had some very good deals, if anyone is looking.

Some local Down East scenery...

To whet people's apetites.

Pascale

Pascale, sadly, will not be joining us at the reunion, as she will be in Germany during July and August working under a research fellowship. Still, she's got the surfing thing going on too:

Some excitement from a birthday party: The birthday girl enjoying a cupcake, and her cousins enjoying each other.

Willoughby St. to be exact, since that's where everyone in this photo will live in one week. Friday was Nola's second birthday and this shot is from her party.

I'm so excited to see everyone else in the clan soon. Derek has to work in Vermont at the end of the reunion week, so we're still trying to decide if we'll drive down, as we had originally planned, or fly, and how long we'll be able to stay. It won't feel like long enough no matter what!
