Beantown Adventures Days 5 and 6

My last two days in Boston - I went to Fenway Park to buy hats, banners and other Red Sox paraphanelia for my hubby, kids and nephew . . .I took 35 pictures of Fenway Park and the Babe Ruth statue...

I then walked the hallowed halls of Harvard University in Cambridge.

And took photos of buildings and statues and went to the Harvard Book Store.

I finished up the vacation walking the Freedom Trail in Boston (in the pouring, blowing rain). It was compeltely, totally worth it, though, to see the Revoluationary War sites. I just wish I could have spent more time there NOT being frozen.

On to the airport where my flight was delayed by two hours. But it was worth it to see this beautiful sunset. I made my connection in Denver with seconds to spare. The suitcase did not. Oh well. It couldn't all be perfect, could it?

Good to be home. Thanks for reading.

I heart NY - Days 3 and 4

I spent days 3 and 4 of my Beantown Adventure in NYC - the big apple! Here are a few of the highlights: I got emotional at the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island...

I saw Spiderman and street performers in Battery Park.

I snapped photos of Michael Moore as he was shooting a fim on Wall Street.

I took a stroll down Wall Street, stood in front of the New York Stock Exchange and took the Bull by the Horns.

I ate REAL NY pizza and authentic Gelato. I toured an italian market and bought authentic italian gnocchi. I grilled a FOOD NETWORK CHEF (!!! in depth!!!) at Chelsea Market.

I experienced a NY taxi. I rode the Subway and inhaled (on accident) the intense smell of stale urine warmed by the underground rails. I got emotional seeing a crazy lady and a homeless man.
I went to the top of the Rock(efeller) center. I saw the ice skating pond. I saw Wicked on Broadway. I ate sushi at at Ruby Foo's. I bought 8 I heart NY t-shirts.

I experienced the streets of Times Square at night. I went inside the large Toy's R Us store. I saw where TRL is taped. I bought cupcakes at Magnolia Bakery (Oprah's fave).

I walked around the WTC site. I bought clothes in a NY department store.

I fell in bed, exhausted, from all the wonderful, wonderful excitement of NY. I think I do heart NY!

Adventures in Beantown - Day 2

Salem, MASS House of the Seven Gables - Nathaniel Hawthorne wrote the book about this house.

One of the first burial places in US - dates to the early 1600's - amazing - I could still read the names and dates on the headstones!

Salem Witch Museum - very interesting active diorama about the Salem Witch Trials in 1692. I am pretty glad I didn't live back then . . .

Our last stop was the Harbor Candy Company. It had the most amazing chocolates. Yes, I did spend a bit of money there . . .

NYC tomorrow. Hopefully I won't get lost or mugged!
