Boston Trip!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

About two weeks ago Brady and I went to Boston to visit his sister Jenn and Brother in Law Ben and their two adorable and hilarious kids Henry and Ellis. We seriously had an amazing trip!!! It is almost unreal to me that we were clear across the country. It was so beautiful there, I really dont think I can begin to describe to you how much I thoroughly enjoyed this vacation. But I will give it my best shot!

Day1:
Took a six hour flight to Boston(UGGG!)
Once we got there we received a tour of Harvard University, given by an authentic Harvard student(Ben Iverson, who is now a Master in Economics, go Ben!).

Harvard University is enormous, it seems like it never ends! If I am remembering correctly this is a building where Freshmen live.

Brady and I in front of the Library.
That night we went to a restaurant called Wagamamas, it had Japanese food that was delishful. I had my first experience with curry there and loved it.

Day 2:

We went to Lexington and Concord which are two towns that are roughly 15 min out of Cambridge, where Jenn and Ben live(5 min away from Boston). We went and seen a few historical sites.
Brady and Henry fighting on the same field that the 1st skirmage of the revolutionary war was fought.

All of us in front of the "Minute Man" statue

Ben in front of the " Shot heard around the world" monument
Brady and I in front of the Louisa May Alcott Home( author of Little Women). We all went on a tour, it was really neat.
Here is Ellis starting to warm up to Brady.
We went to Walden pond and saw a replica of the home of Henry David Thoreau. He was about the same height as Brady. It was so pretty out by Walden pond, its no wonder Henry wanted to live out there and loved nature so much!

That evening Ben and Jenn took us to their favorite pizza place(now mine as well) called Reginas Pizzeria. It was amazing!
Oh and we went to Mikes Pastry and ate some desserts that were called canolis. I have never had anything like it before.

Day 3:
We went to church with the family. Brady and I got to teach Primary. A few people thought I was Jenn at church it was pretty funny.
Day 4:
Brady went out on the town on our own, it was a ton of fun!!! We got to take the "T" or the subway everywhere, which was quite and experience.
we went to the science museum:

Some crazy mirror

"probability"

After hours at the science museum we went to the bunker Hill Monument and to the USS Constitution battle ship.
We then went to the Cheers bar, where everybody knows your name(but not really).
That night we went to The Blue Man Group. That was seriously one of the strangest things I have ever seen, but I loved it!
My man loves loves milk!! we should live here:)

Day 5:
Jenn and the boys took us to Cape Cod. It was such a beautiful place. We went shopping in all the little shops, went to the beach and ate dinner. Brady had his first taste of Lobster there too.


Day 6: Brady and I got the chance to go to the Boston Mass Temple:)
One of the highlights of the trip was our Root Beer Taste test. If you have not heard yet, Boston is known for their root beer, so we were told:). So we were quite determined to find the best root beer in boston:

We tasted Virgils, John Buckmans, Mug, and Wild Willies.

Wild Willies won!!!
I love Root Beer!!!

Day 7:
It was time to say good bye and so Jenn and Ben made sure we went out with a bang:)

Telling the boys goodbye.

We went and got Sweet Potato Sandwiches(which I have been craving ever since) and oober yummy cupcakes and ate them at the park.
Right before catching our plane we went canoeing down the Charles River.

Thanks Ben and Jenn for having us come and visit you and for taking time to be with us! Hope we make it back there again someday. We really enjoyed just being with Ben and Jenn and their boys. They introduced us to some delectable foods, and we created some unforgettable memories there.
And for the Record
I LOVE BOSTON!
