The concert ../../../Sabbat/2004/08.06-08.04AlbemarleAndGettingSarah//IMG_1011 ../../../Sabbat/2004/08.06-08.04AlbemarleAndGettingSarah//IMG_1012 ../../../Sabbat/2004/08.06-08.04AlbemarleAndGettingSarah//IMG_1013 ../../../Sabbat/2004/08.06-08.04AlbemarleAndGettingSarah//IMG_1014 ../../../Sabbat/2004/08.06-08.04AlbemarleAndGettingSarah//IMG_1015 ../../../Sabbat/2004/08.06-08.04AlbemarleAndGettingSarah//IMG_1016 really moved Suzanne ../../../Sabbat/2004/08.06-08.04AlbemarleAndGettingSarah//IMG_1017 ../../../Sabbat/2004/08.06-08.04AlbemarleAndGettingSarah//IMG_1018 ../../../Sabbat/2004/08.06-08.04AlbemarleAndGettingSarah//IMG_1019 even as Paul Caldwell ../../../Sabbat/2004/08.06-08.04AlbemarleAndGettingSarah//IMG_1020 appeared freshly shorn.

Afterwards there were a few sibling pictures ../../../Sabbat/2004/08.06-08.04AlbemarleAndGettingSarah//IMG_1021 ../../../Sabbat/2004/08.06-08.04AlbemarleAndGettingSarah//IMG_1022 ../../../Sabbat/2004/08.06-08.04AlbemarleAndGettingSarah//IMG_1023 and then Ben ../../../Sabbat/2004/08.06-08.04AlbemarleAndGettingSarah//IMG_1024 got ready to pose with Nate ../../../Sabbat/2004/08.06-08.04AlbemarleAndGettingSarah//IMG_1025 ../../../Sabbat/2004/08.06-08.04AlbemarleAndGettingSarah//IMG_1026 ../../../Sabbat/2004/08.06-08.04AlbemarleAndGettingSarah//IMG_1027 and then the Ash family elders ../../../Sabbat/2004/08.06-08.04AlbemarleAndGettingSarah//IMG_1028 posed Nate ../../../Sabbat/2004/08.06-08.04AlbemarleAndGettingSarah//IMG_1029 and Nate and Ben ../../../Sabbat/2004/08.06-08.04AlbemarleAndGettingSarah//IMG_1030 before taking these pictures of our entire delegation ../../../Sabbat/2004/08.06-08.04AlbemarleAndGettingSarah//IMG_1031 ../../../Sabbat/2004/08.06-08.04AlbemarleAndGettingSarah//IMG_1032 ../../../Sabbat/2004/08.06-08.04AlbemarleAndGettingSarah//IMG_1033 for posterity. After a few good bye shots of Ben ../../../Sabbat/2004/08.06-08.04AlbemarleAndGettingSarah//IMG_1034 ../../../Sabbat/2004/08.06-08.04AlbemarleAndGettingSarah//IMG_1035 Jane and I went to Olive's and took pictures of the owner ../../../Sabbat/2004/08.06-08.04AlbemarleAndGettingSarah//IMG_1036 even as he told us the story of his children.

We were a minute early for wheels up ../../../Sabbat/2004/08.06-08.04AlbemarleAndGettingSarah//IMG_1037 and drove to Connecticut to pay these high prices ../../../Sabbat/2004/08.06-08.04AlbemarleAndGettingSarah//IMG_1038 to get a lot of gas ../../../Sabbat/2004/08.06-08.04AlbemarleAndGettingSarah//IMG_1039 and use the facility where we captured this collection sign ../../../Sabbat/2004/08.06-08.04AlbemarleAndGettingSarah//IMG_1040 even as the waste basket ../../../Sabbat/2004/08.06-08.04AlbemarleAndGettingSarah//IMG_1041 belied the cleanliness. Next stop, was Cambridge, where I did a local parking job on the curb ../../../Sabbat/2004/08.06-08.04AlbemarleAndGettingSarah//IMG_1042 as everyone tried to escape ../../../Sabbat/2004/08.06-08.04AlbemarleAndGettingSarah//IMG_1043 before they noticed the dent in the front fender ../../../Sabbat/2004/08.06-08.04AlbemarleAndGettingSarah//IMG_1044 as we made our way to the hotel and Sarah came ../../../Sabbat/2004/08.06-08.04AlbemarleAndGettingSarah//IMG_1045 to learn Ben's song ../../../Sabbat/2004/08.06-08.04AlbemarleAndGettingSarah//IMG_1046 which Ben and Jane ../../../Sabbat/2004/08.06-08.04AlbemarleAndGettingSarah//IMG_1047 continued to sing in the elevator even as we headed out to dinner at the Border Cafe ../../../Sabbat/2004/08.06-08.04AlbemarleAndGettingSarah//IMG_1048 where a short wait ../../../Sabbat/2004/08.06-08.04AlbemarleAndGettingSarah//IMG_1049 got us this table ../../../Sabbat/2004/08.06-08.04AlbemarleAndGettingSarah//IMG_1050 and Ben ../../../Sabbat/2004/08.06-08.04AlbemarleAndGettingSarah//IMG_1051 was amused as Suzanne ../../../Sabbat/2004/08.06-08.04AlbemarleAndGettingSarah//IMG_1052 read the menu and I took a self portrait ../../../Sabbat/2004/08.06-08.04AlbemarleAndGettingSarah//IMG_1053 before Suzanne dug into her margarita ../../../Sabbat/2004/08.06-08.04AlbemarleAndGettingSarah//IMG_1054 as mine arrived ../../../Sabbat/2004/08.06-08.04AlbemarleAndGettingSarah//IMG_1055 along with enchiladas ../../../Sabbat/2004/08.06-08.04AlbemarleAndGettingSarah//IMG_1056 a burger ../../../Sabbat/2004/08.06-08.04AlbemarleAndGettingSarah//IMG_1057 a salad ../../../Sabbat/2004/08.06-08.04AlbemarleAndGettingSarah//IMG_1058 my main course ../../../Sabbat/2004/08.06-08.04AlbemarleAndGettingSarah//IMG_1059 and Jane's chicken skewers ../../../Sabbat/2004/08.06-08.04AlbemarleAndGettingSarah//IMG_1060 after which we recorded these signs ../../../Sabbat/2004/08.06-08.04AlbemarleAndGettingSarah//IMG_1061 ../../../Sabbat/2004/08.06-08.04AlbemarleAndGettingSarah//IMG_1062 that prepare us for Gregory's wedding.

We next went to Harvard Square where we met the Hagadorns ../../../Sabbat/2004/08.06-08.04AlbemarleAndGettingSarah//IMG_1063 as Kaylen and Jane chatted ../../../Sabbat/2004/08.06-08.04AlbemarleAndGettingSarah//IMG_1064 Ben ../../../Sabbat/2004/08.06-08.04AlbemarleAndGettingSarah//IMG_1065 watched the dancers ../../../Sabbat/2004/08.06-08.04AlbemarleAndGettingSarah//IMG_1066 before we went to the Au Bon Pain bathroom ../../../Sabbat/2004/08.06-08.04AlbemarleAndGettingSarah//IMG_1067 which looked like a prison. Jane and Kaylen were amused ../../../Sabbat/2004/08.06-08.04AlbemarleAndGettingSarah//IMG_1068 as Chris ../../../Sabbat/2004/08.06-08.04AlbemarleAndGettingSarah//IMG_1069 took this picture of me ../../../Sabbat/2004/08.06-08.04AlbemarleAndGettingSarah//IMG_1070 and we headed to the ice cream place ../../../Sabbat/2004/08.06-08.04AlbemarleAndGettingSarah//IMG_1071 where after getting through the line ../../../Sabbat/2004/08.06-08.04AlbemarleAndGettingSarah//IMG_1072 I decided not to have Guiness but rather to have this ../../../Sabbat/2004/08.06-08.04AlbemarleAndGettingSarah//IMG_1073 which while good was not up to the ``world's best rating'' it was given. We next went to Harvard Yard and raced ../../../Sabbat/2004/08.06-08.04AlbemarleAndGettingSarah//IMG_1074 ../../../Sabbat/2004/08.06-08.04AlbemarleAndGettingSarah//IMG_1075 in the dark though occasionally Ben ../../../Sabbat/2004/08.06-08.04AlbemarleAndGettingSarah//IMG_1076 ../../../Sabbat/2004/08.06-08.04AlbemarleAndGettingSarah//IMG_1077 could be seen even as the dark lifted ../../../Sabbat/2004/08.06-08.04AlbemarleAndGettingSarah//IMG_1078 and I emerged ../../../Sabbat/2004/08.06-08.04AlbemarleAndGettingSarah//IMG_1079 for these group shots ../../../Sabbat/2004/08.06-08.04AlbemarleAndGettingSarah//IMG_1080 ../../../Sabbat/2004/08.06-08.04AlbemarleAndGettingSarah//IMG_1081 by the status of John Harvard. This person ../../../Sabbat/2004/08.06-08.04AlbemarleAndGettingSarah//IMG_1082 was too busy to get our picture but these pictures ../../../Sabbat/2004/08.06-08.04AlbemarleAndGettingSarah//IMG_1083 ../../../Sabbat/2004/08.06-08.04AlbemarleAndGettingSarah//IMG_1084 were taken by this gentleman ../../../Sabbat/2004/08.06-08.04AlbemarleAndGettingSarah//IMG_1085 though he missed Ben the first time.
