Boston

For our 6 year anniversary (6 years! crazy!) Jonathan planned a trip up to Boston for the weekend. We drove up to Manchester Friday which should have been a 4 hour trip. It turned into more like 7 hours. I guess we shouldn't have planned to drive by New York City during rush hour. Who knew a bunch of dufuses would be rubber necking a pulled over car (what is it with stupid rubber neckers?) Anyway, we made it to Manchester, CT and hung out with some friends, Michael and Brooke. Which was great to see them even though it wasn't very long since it was so late!

The next day kirsten and daddy went swimming, we filled up our car with the most expensive gas in the country and then set off for Boston.

Boston was really nice. We went to Boston commons.
rode the swan boats twice.
And went on the Freedom trail.
We ended up on Old Ironside and were really tired at this point. You can see Kirsten is really excited about the whole thing.
So, we decided to get a cab back to our car. Kirsten took her first cab ride. We heard about liberal crazy heads and how Obama is a communist, among other things, from the cab driver. That was exciting.Then we drove over to the Boston Temple and headed out of town to Peabody, MA.
The next day we headed out to Salem.

And then we went over to this island to feed Colton.Then we set off for a 6 hour drive back home. Luckily Kirsten found ways to entertain herself and the drive wasn't too bad. We had a great time on our short little trip. Kirsten is begging me to come play dollhouse with her so that's it for our Boston trip.
