Trip to Boston

Jonathan and I had a great time at Jon's wedding!

We were able to see some good friends including

Lawrie and Anne Heyworth...

and AC Wood's parents, Tom and Sally!

On Sunday we took the subway into Boston

and walked along Freedom Trail.

The two pictures above and one below are from

The Granary Burial Ground on Park Street.

There were tons of people buried there including

Paul Revere, Mary Goose or "Mother Goose,"

John Hancock, Samuel Adams, victims

of the Boston Massacre, and many others.

This bar inspired the making of the show "Cheers." We had lunch there!

This is in Boston Common.

This is right next to the Park Street Church.

Jonathan has actually been to a service here about 4 years ago

when he was in Boston for school.

The steets were so beatiful to walk!

This is the skyline of the city from Boston Common!

Carriage rides near Faneuil Hall and the Marketplace along Freedom Trail.

King's Chapel...another site along Freedom Trail.

It has so much history you can read if you google it!

This is Jonathan looking into the Governor's Pew.

The pews were built like boxes with doors that opened in order to block

out the drafts before they had heating.

I thought it'd be nice to have now so you could just shut the door

and not have to worry about your kids running into the isles at church!

This is a row of pews. The govenor's is the one with the canopy over it.

Each family would rent a box for a year at a time!

All in all, we had a great time in Boston and were able to see

some really interesting sites. I would love to go back!

Monday we ended up just hanging out at our hotel and watching TV.

We don't get to do that very often since we've been apart again.

We're both back in FL and CA now, safe and sound, and looking

forward to the next time were together.

Oh yeah, if you want to see the pictures larger just click on them!

We love you!
