Boston!

…Boston!  We finally made it!   What an awesome weekend! We did all of the classic tourist stuff, from the Freedom Trail, Paul Revere gravesite, to Harvard University.  KA and I played so much that I can’t even begin to blog about it all, I just don’t know where to begin! Check out the pictures below for a quick overview of what our weekend was about!

Hanging out on the Boston Bridge

I love this picture!  This is right outside our hotel room…we’re hanging out on the Boston Bridge.  The bridge leads directly into downtown Boston where KA and I spent most of the day having one adventure after another!

Fenway Park – Life is Good!

As you can see I have changed my outfit to match the city that I was in.  At the beginning of the day I was sporting a pullover shirt that had a NY on it, but I quickly realized that I probably shouldn’t be wearing that since we were going to be hanging out at Fenway Park.  I bought the popular Red Sox attire at a gift shop right outside the Fenway Park.  I felt much better after making the switch. 

Freedom Trail

The “Freedom Trail” is a very popular tourist attraction for those who visit Boston.  The trail takes you on a indoor/outdoor guide were you get to see the16 historical sites throughout the city and covers two and a half centuries of America’s most significant past.   You know you are on the Freedom Trail because everywhere you walk there is a red brick or painted line that connects to all the sites.  If you stay on the trail you will get to all the site with no problems. Below KA is walking along the trail…see the brick.

Let me tell you, there were a couple of times that KA and I decided that we knew how to get to the sites better and faster then if were kept on following the trail… just checkout below what happend everytime we went off on our own!

…Yeah, we had to stop and ask for direction a lot!  I have to say that my favorite part about traveling with KA is that she takes “the wheel” when it comes to tourist stuff!  For example, the whole day we spent in Boston, KA planned… All I have to do is show up and I know that I am going to have a great time, because KA has done all sorts of research.  She knows how much things cost, where to get maps, the most popular places to stop and see, where the best places are to get ice-cream… I mean who wouldn’t want to travel with someone like that?  Oh man, it really is the best!  KA, thanks for being the best travel agent ever!

I am so glad KA and I are still friends after all these years!

   Feeling Free on the “Freedom Trail”!

(…I’m not going to lie, after being on the  “Freedom Trail” for a couple of hours I wasn’t feeling very  free!  Seriuolsy, I was trapped and there was no escape! KA was on a mission for us to see all the sites and let me tell you… when that girl puts her mind to something it will get done!  But it never stops me from making a few serious attempts to convience her that we should go back and hangout by the pool… do you think I ever win that battle?  I dare you to go on a trip with KA and find out for yourself!)  J
