Father - Son Trip to New England


Shawn and Nicholas had a fantastic guys trip to New England in early June.  Shawn was Confirmation sponsor for his godson, Matthew Pasini, so he took the opportunity of being up in Connecticut, to also travel two hours further and visit his grandmother (AKA Nana Whitty) who is 101 (almost 102) years old along with aunts and uncles outside of Boston!  AND, he took Nicholas along for the fun and they even squeezed in couple days of sight seeing in Boston!  They both came back all smiles!  What a special opportunity for them to spend together and to spend time with such fabulous friends as the Pasinis and loving family members! Thanks to the Pasini's and Auntie Dale and Uncle Roger for the generous and warm hospitality and for all the wonderful activities!   Here are just a few highlights from their trip.
