My family arrived on Thursday and Friday. It is great having them here. Each time they visit us, we try to plan an itinerary full of different activities in the area. We've lived here for nearly 3 years, but have never made it down to Rhode Island to check out the Newport area. It was lovely. We toured the Breaker mansion previously owned by the Vanderbilts.

My sister, Jessica was accompanied by her boyfriend, Nate this trip. It was his first trip to the east coast, so we tried to make it memorable. Hopefully his most memorable moments do not involve carrying my daughter from place to place. He tended to do that often, partly because Claire was especially fond of him, but partly because everyone else was too tired. He was a trooper.

He mostly watched last season because Dick was such a jerk, but Chris is hooked. He's a dedicated viewer once again this season. Sadly, he was a fan of Matty who was kicked off a few weeks ago. I don't think I have a favorite. I find them all to be so obnoxious, yet I watch. Go figure. I obviously need some more excitement in my life. Girls who wear butt showing shorts, screaming matches, verbal abuse, crazy eyes, back stabbing, boys running around in their colored tighty whiteys (if tighty whiteys are colored, are they still called tighty whiteys?)---all in one episode! It is a gold mine. My second can't miss show is Housewives of Orange County or New York City. I really ...
