2011 June : The boys in Iceland

Our three sons had figured it out it's time to visit their root and their place of birth. So, they got together and went to Iceland. Bin already acquainted himself with Reykjavik a couple of weeks earlier. This time, all three of them had a chance to explore a bit more including reacquainting with the old folks and connecting with the younger generation relatives.

2011 June 9-12: Bin's Graduation and Mini Vacation

The orchid by the kitchen window was showing off her beauty. I had not yet recovered from the under-weather symptoms. Hef and I had a rendezvous with Bin in New York City on June 9-12. I hopped on the bus which ran 1.5 hrs. late. With a $2 ticket price, who would complain? Plus, it arrived in a perfect time to hitch up with Bin without having to tolerate brutal heat wave in NYC. We met Hef at Sheraton by the Izod Center, NJ where the graduation took place. Bin has formally become Bin, MD with highest honors. Way to go Big Dude!

The following morning, Hef and I drove up to Hamden, CT to see Mom Noyce. With Heft’s unparalleled sense of direction, we ventured into quite an excursion. Yes, a smart little machine called GPS led us through--eventually. Mom Noyce has been going through her precious belongings in preparation for her upcoming move to PA. Thank you for the valuable collection of stamps, Mom! We had delicious lunch at our favorite Turkish Kababs restaurant in West Haven. On the way back, we faced yet another adventure. Because of time crunch, we shopped into wee hours for necessities for Bin in strange and expensive territories.
