We went out to Boston for a long weekend last week. One of my mission companions and old roommates got married. She lived in New Hampshire and was so great to have her uncle put us up for a couple days. She lives in a very small town in the country and it was very pretty.
They were married in the Boston temple, which is beautiful. It fits in with the architecture of Boston i feel like. It looks like one of the older churches with the really tall steeple and stained glass.
Kirstin and Jimmy, the happy couple.
Our feet.
Cool church in her town.
This is the house we stayed at in New Hampshire. Very cute and country.
These are pretty much the mail boxes for the whole town. LOL
We did a lot of the freedom trail in Boston. It goes around to a bunch of historical sites from the beginnings of America. we first toured the shipyard where there is a super old ship from the 1700's. We didn't tour that one but they also had a WWII destroyer that we did tour. this was the replica of the store in the ship.
Old Boston.
Bunker hill monument. We climbed 294 steps to the top of that tower. It was difficult and exhausting. Even worse because it was in the 90's and very humid. I gave up even trying to not sweat at that point. I gave myself up to it.
View of Boston from the top of the tower.
Cool Bridge that David likes.
Old North Church. Where Paul Revere signaled the troops. "One if by land, two if by sea."
Good ol' Paul Revere himself.
there was a very cool outdoor market in downtown Boston. I loved it and decided i wanted to buy something there. We bought peaches and they were nasty. I'm sure most of the other things were great. But if you ever go, don't by the peaches. I was so disappointed.
My cute dork.
The state building. Very fancy.
My first time on business class on the way home from Boston. It was fantastic. After trying to get on a flight all day to Denver standby paid off for us with these sweet seats. It was a wonderful flight home.
Marty's little cousin followed us throughout our journey. We saw him in Boston and again in Wyoming.
Abe. Enough Said.
All in all it was a great trip. A great last Hurrah before David starts his new job next week. I'll let him blog about all the specifics but yes he got a job!!! It's in Salt Lake so I'm now looking for work up there too. (if you know of anything let me know!) We're looking to buy a home up there and get ourselves settled down for a while! We're very excited!!!
