Jessa's trip back east.

Over the 4th of July week, the Monagans and Cottams took a trip back to Connecticut to visit Gram and Grampa Bond (Stefanie's Mom and Step-Dad). We lucked out with some great weather and spent most of our week at the lake, waterskiing and just boatin around.

Here's Jessa and her cousin Harry hanging at the airport. The 1 hour delay meant I got to suck down a few beers, but at the expense of chasing kids around the terminal ad nauseum.



Everything was super green and lush. Jessa certainly enjoyed prancing all over Gram's flowers.





We ate like Royalty while we were out there. Although I'm pretty sure that Royalty doesn't use those little plastic cornholders.



Jessa was feeling a bit melancholy upon departure. I promised her a new BMW if she could resist crying for the entire 5 hour flight home. She's really gonna regret blowing that opportunity when she gets the keys to a 1999 Chevy pickup on her 16th birthday.
