Boston Bound!

Warning - this might be a picture overload, but here are some highlights of our recent trip to Boston over spring break. We left on Wed and came back on Saturday. We were supposed to arrive on Wed afternoon for an evening Red Sox game, but as we were over Baltimore, the pilot came on and said we had to land for a mechanical problem. Never what you want to hear...after trying to fix it for 2 hours, they finally cancelled the flight at 12:00 and we sat in the airport from 10:30 AM to 9:00 PM waiting on the next plane -- UNFUN! Needless to say, we couldn't use our tickets that night, but we went ahead and bought more the next day b/c David really wanted to see Fenway. It was a good game, and great weather so it was worth it.

here are the highlights:

Wed evening: arrived and to hotel
Thursday: Freedom Trail, Fenway Park, Waterfront for dinner
Friday: Concord and Cambridge for Harvard
Saturday: JFK museum, yummy Italian food in the North End, and flew home

Our airport buddies that we got delayed with and put on stand-by with for 3 flights (we didn't make any of them!)

Homes in the neighborhood with the Walker Center - an old hotel that now hosts Christian retreats - we found it randomly in the classifieds of a Christian magazine, but it was great!

Walker Center hotel - yummy breakfast too!

at the Concord Museum - David has a friend who lives here who was a great tour guide for us! He has a PhD in colonial history, so he was full of fun facts!
