Boston Trip October 3-8th
the kids thought this statue was so funny at first because he is "naked...hee hee" but since we talked about it everyday by the end of the trip they were saying "lots of statues are of naked people because it shows how amazing our bodies are"...etc- good teaching moment :)
This whole trip was made possible because DAVE is AWESOME and was accepted to speak at the New Speakers Forum of this National EM Conference. He made up a catchy title "It's Vogue to be Cool" submitted it, was accepted and his program was so happy they paid for the whole trip--thank you North Shore!
We stayed at the Sheraton downtown and the kids and I had PLENTY to do while Dave was at his conference-- this fountain was our first stop the night we arrived!
we had beautiful weather and loved walking everywhere we went
the kids and I ate at UNO Chicago Grill where they were the chefs and made their own pizzas- James loved it, can't you see??
we loved all the beautiful churches and amazing historical buildings of Boston
i just thought this was a cute one of them :)
the parks and Boston Common areas were covered in flowers and beautifully manicured grounds- we did a lot of walking but loved the scenery along the way
We ended up walking to the Children's Museum while waiting for Dave to finish up one day and got in for the last hour for FREE- always a plus. It was a GREAT museum if anyone is heading to Boston anytime soon...
We found a unique ice cream shop on Newbury Street and the cones were so cool- they were covered in rice crispy treats and s'mores, something I had never seen before
my Almond Joy cone rocked!
We walked about half of the Freedom Trail and the kids thought the tale of Paul Revere was "pretty amazing"
the U.S.S. Constitution
We spent some time in Little Italy looking for the perfect bakery treat and ended up with a fresh-filled canoli, a huge black and white cookie and an eclair. The eclair was a little disappointing, but the rest was fabulous and wrapped up so nicely in the this little box.
We ate some great Vietnamese food on our last night, swam in the hotel pool at least once everyday, drove around Harvard campus, and saw amazing fall colors on the drive to and from Boston and NY.
We all loved Boston and decided we will definitely be back to visit again soon...i hope.
