I've been quiet on the blog lately because we've been busy!!! We got to do our annual football weekend with John and Kathy the other weekend! We went to Boston this time!!!
We missed John and Suz and I wish they could have went along!!! Damien (their son) is still battling cancer and his tumor in his brain is growing. They are busy treasuring every good day as a family but please join me in praying for their family!!!
Boston was awesome!!!! This is now one of our top football places! The town, the sites and sounds and food were just totally amazing!!! We started out last Friday after the kids were off to school! We drove six hours and went straight to The Cliff Walk in Rhode Island. Kathy plans our events and always has her map open on her phone! I love that she navigates us from place to place because we see so much more when we travel with her and John! She really wanted to do this walk/hike and now I know why!!! It was my highlight of our trip! We walked along the Atlantic Ocean and watched surfers surf and heard the waves crash and looked at the beautiful sea!!!
The Cliff Walk is exactly what it sounds like! You walk along the cliff for miles and view the water, the surfers and gorgeous mansions.
So many pretty homes along the path!
Those speaks in the water are surfers.
More mansions right along the coast.
"You keep me safe.
I'll keep you wild."
Love this man so much!!!
From there we called up Urber and went back for the Yukon. We found a seafood restaurant right along the water and ate raw oysters and the best scallop chowder!!!!
We were tired and checked into our hotel for the night!!! What a great start to the this weekend!!
On Saturday we toured Boston!!! We did a bus tour where we got dropped off here and then picked up again and taken to the next historic place!!! Kathy always finds us what's popular and so we had to go to Michael's Pastry's! Look at this place!!! It was crazy full!!! But the canollies were good and their Boston Cream Pie was delicious!!!
We walked the Freedom Trails. You follow this path of pavers through the city and it takes you to historic places!!!
We visited the Quincy Market!!! This was another big highlight for me!!! It was crowded full of food and people but it had the best ever Lobster Roll!!! The roll was filled with fresh lobster and dipped in melted butter!!! We ate it with every single bite being so delicious!!! Our fingers were dripping with butter! It was worth every calorie!!!
The streets of Boston were filled with all these fruit vendors!!! Is this America??? It looks like Belize! So cool!!!
That night we found some more raw oysters in a restaurant on the 50th floor!!! It was so pretty to look out over the city!!! We could see the Frenway Park all lite up for the baseball game!!!
We walked the streets of the city and came up to Eataly Market!!! Mike was super excited because he was here before and wanted to show me around! Look at the catch from this morning! This market was also very cool!!! It was filled with Italy foods!!! Lots of pasta, pizza and cheeses!!!
Cheese hanging from the ceiling!
To our luck, the Red Socks were playing in town that night!!!! The guys were so excited to if we could wait till about the third inning and then grab some cheap tickets!!! We were ready to the leave the Eataly Market and was going to call up Urber but then we spied these guys!!! Men on bikes giving rides around the city! Oh fun, fun!!! We asked if they could take us up to the ballpark … and off we went!!! Kathy laughed the entire ride there!!! :))) It was so fun!
We bought Red Socks tickets and we were in for a good ballgame!!!
It all seemed like a fun dream!!! The day was filled with one fun adventure after the next!!! It felt good to laugh and be carefree!!! The night was long and the game went for forever and even after trying to connect with Urber to take us back to the Yukon, we ended up walking miles back to the parking lot! It was way past midnight before we were back at the motel, exhausted from a day of walking and fun!!!
Sunday morning my legs were starting to feel all the walking!!! We decided to go for a drive out to Cape Cod and see some lighthouses and this beautiful monument!!!
Look how tiny we are to this gigantic monument made in memory of our Christian Forefathers!!! This was one of Mike's highlights!!! He loved this!!!
Way out there is a small light house.
It was a nice drive there and back. We got geared up to do what we actually came to Boston for … watch the Chiefs play some football!!!
It was an exciting game to watch even though they lost.
Thank you Boston for being so good to us!!! We enjoyed you very much!!!!
