This weekend, Rosie and I took a celebratory trip to New England in response to my job offer. I wanted to catch a few Elipsus shows, see the Atlantic Ocean, and enjoy Rhode Island, Connecticut, and Massachusetts. We flew into Providence Friday, scurried around Mass and CT Saturday, and flew back to Detroit on Sunday morning.

In Chestnut Hill, MA, we found this lovely Irish cemetery. I hope to come back and explore it with Cola next week.

This is the cemetery chapel. It’s up on a hill overlooking the sacred grounds.

Driving down Commonwealth en route to Boston Common

After a crazy city drive, 20 minutes of walking, and a temperamental parking meter, we arrived at Boston Common. Rosie wanted to get a picture next to the sign.

Walking up the hill to the war monument. Rosie got tired!

Going up to enjoy the bandstand

Impromtptu performances by mother…

and daughter!

Below this defaced peace monument, we found a few dirty hyperdermics

and decapitated heads on the relief sculptures.

And then the rain started like crazy. This church was for sale in Wellesley. Got an extra $4m?

We drove down to New Haven to Fox’s concert at the Borders in Milford.

Taking Rosie to all these concerts makes her more like me each day

We pulled faces at Fox all through the concert to distract him

Post-show, right before he drove to his show in Stamford and Rosie and I drove back to Providence. It was a great 36 hour getaway!
