Jared and I ate at a fun place called "The Five and Diner" in Worcester. Each booth had its own jukebox and the waiters wore poodle skirts and bobbie socks. The food was great, too! I asked the waitress what the area was known for that I could get as a souvenir. She couldn't think of anything, so she called out to the other patrons. People said normal things like Boston Baked Beans, Clam Chowder, Lobster, and then two older men at a table yell out "Crime" and "The Lottery"...the others were not pleased with their responses :) It will be a whole new world when we go there, but it should be an adventure.
Jared and I made our first joint purchase! We took the plunge and moved into being a one-car family for now...one less trip to Iowa City for Jared :) Henry was very good for the 5 hours that we were at the dealership, and bonded with his friend the red balloon, much like Tom Hanks to his volleyball "Wilson." He had a death grip on that sting, and even fell asleep holding it. Lest you worry, we removed the balloon from his crib after he was asleep...We're really excited about our new car, and Henry is happy with it too!
