Boston Trip!

So Kyle and I decided that we needed a get away before our baby comes, and before he starts up another year. So we went to Boston to get away. We started out going to the Freedom Trail, and we did an audio tour which was nice because half way through, it started to pour. So if we would have paid for an actual tour, we would have lost out on half of it. So we then decided to go back to our hotel and wait out the storm, which only lasted about 10 more minutes, but we were soaked. Then Tuesday we went to Plymouth Rock and saw where the Pilgrims first landed. Then we headed off to the Cape. This was really pretty and we spent some time at the Beach. Then to truly get the Boston/Eastern Experience we went to a seafood restaurant and spent way too much money on a lobster dinner. When the lobster came, I didn't know how to crack it open and eat it, so I asked the waitress. Of course she didn't know either, so her manager of this really nice seafood restaurant went and got some gloves on, and came and helped me. Embarrassing, I know but it was so much fun! After that we went to our hotel and the next day we finished the Freedom Trail. We weren't ready to go back to New Haven, so we decided to extend our trip one more night and we went up to Sharon VT, the birthplace of Joseph Smith. There is a really cool monument there that was set up in 1905, the 100 year anniversary of his birth. It was peaceful, and we can't wait to go back again.

That sounds like so much fun. Texas is so big and we can't just go on a whim to some fun place. I would love to be able to see all that you guys get to see. Enjoy the time that you can do all of that...btw, you could probably do it even after your baby comes too. :)
