10 Years - We went to Boston

Boston is one of those places David and I have always wanted to go. We have our real, BIG anniversary tripped scheduled for June 3-8 but I don't want to spoil that surprise.


A few weeks before our anniversary I cooked this whole trip up without David knowing. Before I paid for everything I had to tell him we were going to make sure he hadn't plan any ranch stuff for the same time. Thankfully, nope.


We headed to Boston on September 22, exactly 10 years to the date. The trip went smoothly and we landed in Boston in the early afternoon. We headed to our condo. Rather than a hotel room I found a nightly rental not too far from Fenway Park and many other tourist attraction for much less. We loved it, you really get to experience the city and its people this way.


We enjoyed a fabulous dinner that night at the top of the Prudential Building with a great view.


The rest of the weekend was spent doing was the other tourist do in Boston, soaking up the scenery, riding the subway, and enjoying the amazing food.


If you haven't visited before, GO, it is a great place to visit. We spent 3 full days hanging out and there was always something to see or do. It was fantastic!!!



We scored an actual game puck at the Boston Bruins hockey game. They was the Stanley Cup last year. The game was so much fun. We were on the 5th row.




That dome is actual gold and we look odd but this is the only picture of us together from the whole weekend.


Statute of Mr. Hooker, yes, this is where the word hooker comes from in our English language. He loved have loose women around and therefore they were named, Hookers.



The largest bell Paul Revere ever built. It was made and still used for the King's Chapel. So amazing to be so close to such an amazing piece of history. We also visited the crypt below the church. That was my favorite part. It was very creepy. Most of the crypts are enclosed and covered but one, just one is missing bricks. We were able to see in it with a flashlight. The caskets were so old and worn that you could see the bones, including the skull. So cool and creepy.









This is one of the funniest things. I hope you can read the marker.







We spent the better part of one day at the Art Museum. It was amazing and HUGE. We saw Picasso's, Rembrandt's, and Monet's and so many, many more.



We spent the last day down by the water and went to the aquarium. It was gorgeous and amazing. I love those places. It was one large room and a spiral ramp that leads to the top. Very efficient use of space and you are constantly surrounded by fish.


These are just a few of the many adventures we had in Boston.


Oh, I love Boston Creme Pie at the Omni Parker House, where it was invented.


Here's to 20, 30, 40, 50 years and more!!!!
