Boston Pops!


Our official summer vacation this year took us to the birthplace of our nation's revolution. It worked out perfectly in that the 4th of July landed on a clear and cool Saturday. This trip also doubled as a wedding anniversary gift to one another. Boston by far is one of, if not the best major city we have ever visited. The rich history of the Boston Common and Fanueil Hall to Fenway Park and the "Big Dig" are just a few of the many attractions of the city. There are many traditions and stories that Bostonians are happy to share and for us 3 days were not enough to take it all in. Since Noah stayed with his Nana and Popo in Brady we were able to risk life and limb trying to explore as much of the city as fast as possible using all forms of transportation including a brisk walk through a cozy neighborhood called Jamaica Plains (remember scene from Natl Lampoons Vac lost in ghetto). We also hoofed it from Harvard University to a mom and pop breakfast place (walked 2 miles parallel to a street with bus route) where we enjoyed enough grease and sugar to kill a small horse. Thanks for the tip Food Network. What we'll do for blue corn and sweet potato pancakes.
