Three little Wiggies came to Cambridge

Even though we're happy to be back on this side of the ocean, we've definitely been missing parts of our England life, like how we could just walk down the river and hang out with the Wiggintons!  
So, after a summer of missing this cute face,  Rob and I were thrilled to hear that the Wigginton's had booked tickets on the Fung Wah to come see us for a long weekend.   Once they got here, it felt like no time had passed...especially for Rob and Talmage.  They were still bffs, as usual!
 "Oh, hey Rob, old buddy!  What a funny coincidence meeting you here...inside this tunnel slide!"
And, since it had been over a year since we'd been able to go, we HAD to take the Wigginton's (and my sister, Katie, who was also in town) down to the North End for some pizza from Regina's...
...which really is good enough to fight over.
And then we forced them to make room in their stuffed bellies for my favorite italian treat: a cannoli from Mike's.
After one bite, Talmage was ready to dig deep and eat whatever cannoli was sent his way.
Here he's already had almost 1/2 of a big cannoli, and he's making the sign for "MORE!"
Because there is a lot more to experience in the greater Boston area than the excellent food of the North End, we also did some historical sightseeing.  We toured the Longfellow House, home to Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (also, previously home to General George Washington while he was commanding the Union troops).

Later we drove out to Lexington and Concord to learn about the beginning of the American Revolutionary War...from the lips of Paul Revere himself.  Who knew he'd been aging so well?
We were so happy to see the Wiggintons again!  Thanks, guys for making that loonngggg haul up to see us!  We'll have to plan another reunion before too long.
