U.S.S Constitution


Our favorite part of Boston was hands down the U.S.S Constitution. This old fine lady was launched in 1797. Not only was the tour free, but they let you run around with out any real supervision and for a person who had to be on a leash when she was a kid it was AWESOME!


Captain's bed

Uncomfortable sleeping quarters

I don't think I was supposed to pick that up, BUT seriously they didn't supervise me...BIG mistake.

"No street is North and South"

Boston was amazing! The weather, although chilly and a little damp, worked in our favor with no snow to worry about. I love cities that scream history and are setup so you can easily walk or take public transportation instead of having to drive everywhere. Boston was definitely one of those cities. As you can imagine James and I took a ton of photos. So this set of photos will be the shops and cool architecture that we saw.

Every adventurer needs a good map. We tried going without one to not seems so touristy, but it was too hard without it and actually our guide book turned out to be very useful.

Beautiful, but eerie tombstone art dating from the 1800's


A neat vintage hardware store

Isn't that a fantastic driveway?
The illusion of Spring was all around us!

Headed to Boston!


James and I are headed to Boston tonight. Can't wait to walk the Freedom Trail , eat some yummies at North End and pretend I'm a pirate on the U.S.S Constitution! Will post pictures of the amazing architecture and our adventure soon.

White and Tiny





So chic, no? For my birthday James spoiled me with a new laptop that I could travel with easier. It is so light weight and has a battery live of over 10 hours. I'm in love.

LOVE


Hope everyone had a wonderful Valentine's Day! The 14th just so happens to also be my birthday and I was fortunate to be able to celebrate it with my sister and her family, as well as my childhood friend, Caitlin!

After getting some delicious sushi at Tani we went to Bailey's Chocolate Bar for some high calorie desserts and a glass of Big Ass Cab. Yes, that is the actual name.

My super cool pirate bday cake. James ordered it from the same lady who did our wedding cake.....aw!

James knows I've been dying for Spring to start so he got me a bouquet of tulips! Just ignore the toy....long story.

My Hero - seriously! 30 mins after this photo was taken James had to perform the Heimlich maneuver on his mother after she started choking on a piece of steak. Very blessed birthday that James was able to be there. Please take a moment to refresh your memory on how to perform the Heimlich maneuver...you never know when you might need to use it.

I'm An Old Lady


I just did my very first ebay listing (with the help of my husband). I'm obviously about 10 years behind technology. I need to get rid of my wedding gown that is sadly hanging up in the corner of our basement. I had tried craigslist with zero luck and James has recently promised that if I can say "au revoir" to my gown we can buy the LG washer with the Steam Clean! I NEED THAT WASHER...okay I want that washer.
