Boston

warning: lots of pictures
BOSTON MASSACHUSETTS
February 2010
Here we are patiently waiting on the airplane to take off for some fun in Boston.
Kam likes to fly!
These views below are what we got to look at everyday from the window of our hotel room.
It was AMAZING and breathtaking.
We stayed in the Sheraton hotel right in downtown. It was a perfect location.
We were able to walk right out and get on our hop on/hop off bus that took us on tour to many historical sites throughout the city.
We made sure we were BUNDLED up well...it was COLD. ☺
Kam was a trooper and did great. We just pushed her around in the stroller and she slept and stayed warm!
Here we are touring the house of Paul Revere.
It was fun to learn more about him...and his "midnight ride!"
The Atlantic Coast.
Right across the street from the ocean, is Faneuil Hall.
This is a fun outdoor shopping area with an awesome eatery in the middle of the center...Quincy Market.
We ♥ this place.
Here they are boiling my cheese for my macaroni.
It was TO DIE FOR.
We came back the next day and I got the macaroni
AGAIN.
MMMMMM mmmmmmmm GOOD!
Doesn't that look heavenly? Well, it was.
The streets were awesome.
The buildings were amazing.
The atmosphere was exciting.
I LOVE BOSTON.
We loved walking around downtown and getting a feel for the city.
Here is the
BOSTON COMMON
area and
PUBLIC GARDEN.
reminded me of Central Park in NY
We had fun skating on the frozen pond.
We took a ride on the "T" subway to check out Harvard University. We walked around campus and took in the beauty of the campus. The buildings were AMAZING. They were HUGE and so old and just really neat to see.
HARVARD
Look how big that building is...see the girl walking in front. It was GINORMOUS! Here is TD Garden where the Celtics play, and the Bruins.
FENWAY PARK
Boston Red Sox
We had some nice relaxation time too.
Kam and I just chillin.
Here we are watching the Superbowl!!
I actually did watch some of it though. It was a good game.
GO SAINTS!
We toured this ship...The USS Constitution...our nations oldest commissioned ship.
We wish Tanner would have been with us (we left him with friends), he would have LOVED seeing this ship, looking at the cannon's and knowing this used to fight pirates! This ship was undefeated and thus nicknamed "Old Ironsides."
I think that's a wrap!
WE LOVED BOSTON.
We had a great time and saw many more sites and had more fun adventures than even listed here (Boston Massacre site, Bunker Hill, "Cheers" bar...)
The city is so historic and exciting.
We can't wait to go back!!!!

I'm so glad you guys had fun. I had to visa wait in Boston for 3 months before going to Brazil and LOVED IT! It is truly a great city! I was there when they announced the temple would built in Boston. (This is Jeremy not Kelli who normally puts comments)

Looks like fun! It brought back good memories of when we went there! I can't wait to go back there someday either! I hope it's soon!

Looks like you had a great time! My hubby served his mission in Boston, and completely agrees...it is a fabulous place, everything is so beautiful. Glad you had a good time!

Amazing pictures and incredible sights. Isn't it funny how we think a building is old when its 25 or 50 years old, when in Boston and other places it can be 200 years old. Glad you had a great trip. Next time go when its warm!!
