A couple months ago we travled to the East coast to Boston. And yes indeed Boston was too good but even more amaZing was being with my dear sister and her darling family. Everything about the trip was perfect. They treated us so well and made us feel right at home. We laughed a lot, chatted about good times... past present and future. Our kids played so well together and it made it that much harder in knowing we wouldn't be with them again for a long time. (One day one day.)
"Calvin come play with me" says Daxton. Was probably one of my favorite things that was said and it was said quite frequently. Calvin loves his cousins. It was really hard for him to go to bed because he just wanted to play with his cousins all night.
Everyday was perfect. It was by far one of my favorite vacations.
They sacrificed and gave so much to us. They journeyed through the city acting as our tour guides and not one complaint was ever made. Nap times were sacrificed and their time. They were such good hosts and showing so mcuh love to us.
We also got to spend one day with my dear little sister. I was so happy she came but sad we could only be toghether for a day. Us three toured the city together just like old days being her mom and dad :)
I loved being together with both my sisters. I love them. They are my best friends.
Next time we need all the sisters together.
Some not all the places and things we saw were:
Freedom trail
Harvard Square
The LongFellow Home: George Washington Quarters
Charles River
Maryland: Famous Lighthouse and beach
Vermont: Joesph Smiths' Birthplace
Paul Revere Statue
Boston Harbor
The shot Heard Around the World Monument
Honey Pot Hill Orchards
Downtown Boston
I often think about our trip and how much it influenced me in many ways and brought so much joy into my life. Thank you Shelby and Brandon for such a lovely lovely time.

Walked up that tower.... um it was exhausting and it reminded you on each step what number of step you were on.. I don't know if I liked that or not.
Beautiful Harvard Square
If you plan to visit the Longfellow Home any time soon please be prepared to spend at least 2 hrs + for the tour. We left early. and don't bring children they reminded Dan in the kindest way possible to not lean against the table a couple times. lol..
Oh Apple Picking was simply deluctable. I was in awe with the beauty. with wonderful company beautiful scenery and taste testing apples.

Daxton has the best faces!! These boys were in heaven playing on the tractor.
Such a handsome boy.
It was perfect day to visit the beach and we left just in time of the huge rainstorm that delayed us in getting home for lets just say a few hours.. haha good times.
Oh gosh I love all of these pictures. All of them! And what's with the photo bomber? He was totally up in our grill. Not cool man. Seriously though it made me so sad/happy to go through these pictures. Sure wish I could have been there longer with you guys, but thanks for the good time while we were both there.
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures! HaHa that photo bomber has a Tanner resemblance! When I first looked at it I thought....wait Tanner and Amanda didnt go back there at the same time did they? Reminds me of Tanner mugging the video camera while I was taping!
ReplyDeleteWow those were such fun pictures. It helped to know exactly what you were up to They were professional pictures as well. My kids are such talented photographers it's just amazing to see. I'm so glad you guys had that time together and that you still the best of friends. I can see how it would be one of your best trips ever.
