Looks just like home!

When I found out I’d be attending the Enterprise 2.0 conference in Boston, I was thrilled for more than one reason: first, it was a great work opportunity for me; second, we have friends and family in Providence and Newport, so it would be a great opportunity for a mini-vacation.
