BOSTON!!!

So I've kind of dropped the ball on getting my regularly-scheduled posts out for the past week, but I feel like I have a relatively decent excuse: I was on vacation!

I have a couple of friends living in Boston right now, so I took advantage of my job's generous paid time off policy to take a long weekend seeing a corner of the East Coast I'd never seen before. You might recall from my goal list that I hope to visit all 50 states in my life, and on this trip I knocked a whopping THREE off the list!

I spent most my time in Boston, but went to Rhode Island for Corgi-palooza (a friend of a friend was performing and I wasn't about to pass up on that opportunity!) and Connecticut to visit a friend who is an RA at a summer camp there.

Here are some pictures of my adventures. Unfortunately, I am terrible about taking pictures, so I managed to leave without getting any pictures of me with my friends, but I did get some good shots of some historical places in Boston!

The East Cost has the most healthy hydrangeas I've ever seen. Look at the colors! 

Park St church 

The Old Corner Bookstore (one of the oldest publishing houses in the country) is now a CHIPOTLE.  Sad.

This is the guy who rode with Paul Revere. Frankly, I think he's bitter Longfellow's poem wasn't about him.

Ok, I lied. I got ONE picture with one of my friends. CHEESE!

This sums up Boston for me - history in the heart of a gorgeous city. 

Hot and humid though my trip might have been, I had a ton of fun and can't wait to go back!
