Amazing View

Sunday ended up as a more traditional family day. Stake Conference was held in a hotel near Copley Square. (Our stake hasn't had a stake center, with stake conference in the past being broadcast to the several chapels. There is finally one under construction and nearing completion.) This is the church where the evening session was held Friday. For dinner, Jake grilled some steaks and Joy's cousin Darin, who goes to Harvard, came over to join us. It isn't very often that I get to have a sit-down family dinner, so I really enjoyed and appreciated it. We also had yummy chocolate fondue for dessert... an added bonus. When we took Darin home, he took us to the deck of his building to see the city.
Next, he took us to the roof of the building. We had to climb some scary ladders... ...but the view was worth it.

Sadly, Joy got sick on Monday and Jake had to go home on Tuesday. Jake and I did meet up with some friends for trivia night at a restaurant/bar on Monday. My contributions to the team included identifying a Rainbow Brite Halloween costume. Yes, I am an '80s child.

So glad you were able to come visit Jake!
