Mixing Business with Pleasure

The last ten days have been the best business trip of my short career, because Adriane and Olivia joined me. My new client has a large subsidiary in Waterbury, Connecticut, so we decided it would be a good opportunity to visit my family.

First we went to Greenwich, Connecticut to visit my aunt, uncle, and grandparents. Olivia was a little shy at first but once she grew comfortable she started talking up a storm. "Dee Dee" (my aunt), "Bob" (my uncle), Na Na (my grandma), Pop Pop (my grandpa), etc, etc, etc.

Next we made our way to my parent's new home in Rhode Island. They bought a Getty gas station and have been very busy running the business.

Here's my dad and Olivia behind the counter:




Here she is playing with the day's profits.

My sister and Olivia watching the Golden Globes and playing red carpet:

The last couple of days Adriane and Olivia were such good sports and hung out with me in Waterbury. There wasn't much to do but they found ways to have fun. We built a fort in the hotel room so Olivia had her own private area to sleep! Of course she loved it.

Adriane leaves today and I have one more week in Waterbury! It just won't be as much fun without Adriane and Olivia.
