THE TRAVELING GARDNERS

Fenway Park - Massachusetts  We met up with Justin and Robyn Wagner before the game. We all ate authentic sausage sandwiches in front of Fenway before going to the game. Then in the middle of the game we got to sneak in their seating area. They were seated in the special Budweiser seating area that had a great view and a personal waiter! So spoiled.

The families that run together, stay together. :) So much fun.

Cross it off my list, "40 things to do before I am 40!" I have always wanted to go blonde once in my life. I figured....why not now? The camera is still in the shop. So, I had to temporarily use my cell phone to record these blonde memories. :) Driving home....feeling sassy......... Later on that night trying to get a closer pic of the hair. Did not succeed as my cell camera stinks! So a few days later, as I washed my hair, and let it dry on it's own....I felt like it looked yellow....with a slight glow of orange! I guess I have too many natural red highlights! So, I am attempting one more time to finish the blonde transformation the second week of September. If it does not take this time......I am going back to brunette!

I have decided to go blonde . I have always wanted to. I decided, "why not now?" I was going to go completely blonde this past appointment. But my dark locks require time. And Dan's MRI ran over, so I arrived to the appointment late. The final " blonde - ness " will happen July 31st. Stay tuned!
