Boston Cream

What better way to kick off my blog than with a pictoral (yes I made up that word) recap of my Easter weekend trip to Boston since taking pictures there gave me the push I needed to sign up for a blog. Plus the fact that Christy actually created it for me.

I fell in love with Boston at very first sight. My darling friend Christy and her husband Chris were my hosts for the weekend. I asked them to show me all of their favorite things in one day. Too much to ask? Well, they were the right people for the job. All I can say is that Kate Middleton may be getting the royal treatment tomorrow, but I got the royal treatment all weekend.

Here we go. The following are pictures of:

- Paul Revere's House - "Listen my children and you shall hear..."
- Plymouth Rock - wow.
- The Mayflower - technically The Mayflower II, but still awesome
- Boston Temple - with beautiful flowers in bloom for Easter
- Louisa May Alcott's House in Concord - Who knew this existed? This was the most pleasant surprise for me. And I may or may not have gotten teary as "Marmy" was telling us that Beth used to play this very piano before she got scarlet fever and died. My 3 sisters and I are basically Little Women, you know. Except I am Jo, even though I'm the oldest. Meg is boring.
- Old North Bridge in Concord - "the shot heard round the world"
- Easter Morning at Boston Common

Not pictured, but still important: Old North Church (of "one if by land, two if by sea" fame) and eating a Boston cream donut in Boston.



Thanks for a wonderful visit, Chris and Christy!!

  2. Hey girl! I'm glad you have a blog. Boston is one of the places that I've never been, but really want to go to. I'm a little jealous. By the way, I think single people's blogs are way more interesting and entertaining, so I'm glad you started now!

  4. SO excited you're doing a blog!!! And I love, love, love your pictures! Are you taking classes? I really want to learn to take better pictures...I just haven't had (taken) the chance to learn yet. Hooray for blogs! And I just heard from Sara that you'll be in CO for her bridal shower, and we'll still be here, so I can't wait to see you!!!!!
