boston, or, the place i totally want to move and live forever

Boston by night

Boston by boat.

No, by THIS boat:
Duck Tour! Classically corny, yet informative.

Me, through the plastic window.

My absolute favorite part of the trip was the visit to Concord. On our way to Walden Pond, we saw the most quaint pumpkin patch, a Waldorf school, and five nineteenth century authors' houses/grave sites. This is when I realized I needed to live here. The date on that move is TBD, obviously.

Thoreau's cabin site


Me, pretending to be Thoreau

Lucy, pretending to be Thoreau

House where Louisa May Alcott lived when she wrote Little Women.
(embarrassing confession: I've never actually read Little Women. For shame, I know)

Trinity church
(totally cool random fact: in church on Sunday, they announced that they were holding stake conference at Trinity Church. Who doesn't love that?)

Suzy drove up from New York to see us.
Here she is pinching me so I'd laugh in this picture.
Some things never change.

Lucy loves Boston, too.
Penelope likely does also, except that she didn't get to go.
She had a fun vacation with Grandma Penee instead.

Plymouth Rock.

Steve and Dave reenact the Mayflower Pilgrims' disembarking...

Boston Temple
