Bah-ston

I fell in love with Boston many moons ago when I took classes at Harvard one summer! I got to experience Boston through my husband's eyes yesterday as we took the T to the city and walked around downtown! It was a gorgeous day! We explored Boston's Back Bay area and visted Fenway Park! The entire town is getting ready for the Boston Marathon, which is Monday--pretty cool that we are here this weekend. Larry loved Fenway, and we found a cute soorts bar to have lunch! We were exhausted from getting uo so early to leave Vermont and walking 5 miles around the city, so we made it an early night and came back to the hotel, ordered pizza, and watched Pretty Woman!

Charleston: King Street and History

Image
On our first full day in Charleston, we started our day shopping on King Street. Larry needed coffee, so we stopped in King's cookies, so he could get an iced coffee. I couldn't resist ordering a pecan praline cookie, especially since I saw them come straight out of the oven--the cookie was devine! We wandered into some of the art galleries and oogled over some of the local art--very tempted to go back and buy some. We also snooped in some of the antique and home stores. We found our way into Charleston Place--a very fancy hotel with high-end designer stores like Gucci, Rolex, and Louis Vuitton. I immediately texted Stephanie and told her about it--she immediately looked it up and booked a stay for her and Michael for this sunmer! They both enjoy high-end places and bougie boutiques, so I knew Charleston Place was for them! We went into Lake and bought a pair of pajamas that Stephanie wants for her birthday. I also looked in several boutiques for an Easter dress, but the ones I...

Trains, busses, and witches— Oh My!

On the last day of our trip, we decided to venture out to Salem--I mean, Salem in October has to be amazing, right!? We took the metro train to Wonderland and caught a bus that took us to Salem! It was relatively easy to get there. Salem is a lovely town, but in October, it is like a Halloween Ren-Fair: lots of shopping, open-air markets, street performers, and tourists dressed as witches! It is pretty crazy with the sheer numbers of people--unfortunely, we didn't get to visit any of the museums because by 11:00am, they were sold out for the day! Larry finally got to have a lobster roll and Boston Lager--he said both were delicious! I am glad we got to experience Salem in October, but I would like to come back during a non-peak time to enjoy all it has to offer! Tomorrow, we head back home--we have loved every second of our fall vacation!

Charleston: Rainy Days

Image
Day 3 of our Charleston adventure was lazy and quiet because it rained all day. Neither of us was up for sightseeing in the rain, so we napped, played games, and just spent the day being with one another. We ventured our for lunch at Bahama Breeze--Larry had a pina colado and we shared some empanadas! The food was actually really good. I got to wear my cute sun/rain hat, and it remninded me of my Titi--she wore these kinds of hats all the time. Anyway--sometimes our vacations are about reconnecting and spending quiet times with each other--we dont always have to be on the go and doing tourists' things! Tomorrow, we will venture out and see more, but today, we are quite content, snuggling on the couch, listening to the rain, and sharing our quiet moments!
