NJ Road Trip

Our recent NJ road trip to celebrate my mom’s 90th birthday was a “grand” family affair — especially since our grandchildren, their parents, and Grenville’s aunt and uncle came for the party from New England. Not only did we have time to spend with grandkids but some “photo ops” to share too.

Grandson started kindergarten this year and likes it.

Both grandson and grandpa mugged for the camera.

We really had a great NJ road trip to celebrate not only a very special event but family time together.
