Our adventure began in the airport waiting for the airplane. This was James and Alyse's first time flying and they were very excited.
On the plane as we were getting ready to take off. They were so excited and sat great on the way to Boston, our destination.
Sleeping during our descent.
We had a busy, yet fun trip. (some of the pictures I wanted to share wouldn't load properly, so I can't share as much as I would like.) This is Jonathan and I on the USS Constitution. He and I walked the Freedom Trail through Boston, while James and Alyse went to the science museum with Uncle Aaron and Aunt Elissa.
Old North Church where Paul Revere hung the lanterns.
Granary burial ground where John Hancock, Paul Revere, victims of the Boston Massacre, Samuel Adams, and parents of Benjamin Franklin are all buried.
This is a shark and sting ray touch tank at the Boston Aquarium.
Tidal pool touch tank.
Pretty fish.
Resting after a busy day.
We were fortunate to take a trip to New Hampshire to visit my cousin and his family. They live close to the beach so we went to see the ocean. We had a great time of sticking toes in the cold water, building sand castles, burying James in the sand, and finding shells even though it was a cooler day.
Also on our trip, we walked around Harvard, saw the world's only Curious George store, and Jonathan and I left James and Alyse with Aaron and Elissa to go to NYC for the day. While, in the city it was a cold, rainy, foggy day. We saw the 9/11 memorial, Times Square, Rockefeller Center, and Central Park. We walked a lot. The fog was a disappointment because it changed some of our plans, but we still had a great time.
We had a great vacation and it could not have gone any smoother. We really enjoyed seeing new places and spending time with family. It's always nice to be home, but we could've stayed longer.
