The PhD of McD
This past weekend we were in Vermont celebrating Ryan's PhD graduation. It was epic, and it makes me so happy that we've been able to get most of the crew together at least once a year. The McD's set the bar ridiculously high with the house they rented for us to crash in. I mean, WOW. Each of the 12 bedrooms had it's own really nice bathroom. Team Shea stayed in a huge room with a queen bed, a bunk set, and another twin. There was plenty of room for Lil's pack and play, and we had friends sleep over each night. :) About half the crew arrived on Thursday night and (as expected) partied it up and had lots of great conversations. Friday was a low-key rainy day, and Friday night the rest of the gang piled in for Welcome Feast and ensuing festivities. We divvied up cooking duties in the spirit of past party trips, but the cooks outdid themselves this time. Breakfast is my favorite meal, so I'm partial to the amazing french toast...
