BEANTOWN

Mike and I got to play in Boston this weekend for a couple days. It was alot of fun!It was the first time I have left the boys overnight and longer EVER. We enjoyed our time. I really love Boston. I think you really need more than a couple days to enjoy all it has to offer. Thanks to my parents who watched the boys for us. We really appreciated your willingness to watch them for us. We know they can be a handful.

Mike on the Beantown Trolley.

Hudson Bay Tour. This was really cool!
That sign says CODZILLA. Its a speed boat ride sure to thrill (especially when the water this time of year is 38 degrees). We didnt ride it!. We rode the big boat behind it.

Paul Revere's grave.

Granary Cemetary was my favorite part of Boston.

I got so emotional there that tears filled my eyes as we walked around. Three of things that Mike and I felt so impressed by were: 1) One person CAN make a difference. 2) The "Law of Sacrfice" is always required to acomplish the Lords work, and the "Principle of Compensation" will follow. ("The third thing we can do is understand the principle of compensation. The Lord compensates the faithful for every loss. That which is taken away from those who love the Lord will be added unto them in His own way. While it may not come at the time we desire, the faithful will know that every tear today will eventually be returned a hundredfold with tears of rejoicing and gratitude".- Joseph B. Wirthlin)

3) The Lord uses imperfect people to accomplish his will and strengthens that person and refines them during their mission.



Mother Gooses Grave. Yes, she was a real person.

My Favorite President, John Adams. This guy was amazing. Need a good read?-
Read John Adams by David McCullough.
Quicy Market at Night. So beautiful.

Best Cowder!! Blackstone Grill. Union street by Faneuil Hall. Loved it!!
The Fish and Chips were so-so.
CHEERS! Me snuggling up to Kelsey Grammer. ok cardboard but who cares. He knows my name, right?

Our Subway stop. Just so happened that the train we were waiting for Friday night was shot at with an unknown object prior to arriving at the station. They said it was either rocks, a bebe gun or a 22 pistol...oh how comforting! No one was injured, thank goodness.
Faneuil Hall
Love , Love, Love Boston. Hope to visit again someday.

We came by your house on Saturday night but no one was home. The boys were sad they didn't get to say goodbye.
