Daffodils in Newport




One of Maimou favorite event is picking daffodils in Newport. He is so happy among the yellow fields.  Newport ended our road trip. Home in Cambridge tonight.

Philly's Playgrounds





When you have kids, you judge places by their playgrounds.

So Fancy in Philly





The purpose of the road trip was to see the Barnes Foundation in Philly. It is the famous art collection that the city of Philly stole. If you haven't seen the documentary "The Art of the Steal," you need to. It's the story unfolded. The art was amazing, about 40 billion dollars amazing. We stayed in a chic boutique hotel. The hotel bought the kids robes that were their size and a gold fish that they named Gold.

Good Friends in NYC



We are so lucky that we were away when the madness happened to our city. We are still in shock and disbelieve. The President isn't talking about our city and that can't be our road that we drive on everyday. It all sounds like a bad plot to a show. For the pass week, we have been an a road trip. First, we had to see our dear friends in NYC. Alexia and Annabelle put on the dresses that Amy made for them. Annabelle said that they were sisters and Alexia thought it was the best. It doesn't matter how long they haven't seen each other. They are close friends.

Greek Soldiers





Greek parade is this weekend in Boston. Yaya and Auntie rushed Maimou and and Alexia their traditional outfits. Maimou was excited to see his new pom pom shoes. Unfortunately, Alexia's Greek girl dress was too big. So, we offered her the Spiros' old outfit and she looked super adorable in it. Her Greek soldier outfit is about 45 years old. Spiros and Maimou have wore that outfit, but she fitted it in the best. After being all dressed up, Maimou and Alexia practiced standing like soldiers and the famous march, knee up, kick and step.

Mr. And Ms. Vietnam







Last night was international night at Maimou's school. Maimou and Alexia wore their traditional clothes from Vietnam called ao dai. These pictures are for my mom. I hope she loves seeing her vietnamese grandkids.
