My newest adventure took Paul (the love of my life) and I all the way to the east coast. Everyday we were out doing something, exploring somewhere new...even if it meant hiking in the wind and rain to see it!
Day 1 we toured Boston. Our flight came in at 6:30am, and after a long red-eye flight with very little sleep, we crashed until 8 am in an open space in the terminal. At 8 we headed out to walk around Boston, seeing cemetaries, churches, and the first public library in America.
Did I mention we carried all of our baggage around with us? My pack weighed about 20 pounds and would last me a week out and about.
Paul loves church architecture, so we had to stop in for a peek as well as capture a shot of the outside facade.
Since we're both bookworms we've made it a tradition to stop into a library in the cities we visit. How could we pass up an opportunity to peruse books in the US's very first library? It was amazing!After walking around for a few hours we caught a bus to Concord, NH where my dad's roommate picked us up and took us grocery shopping. After getting food for the week, we bolted over to a hearty beef stew dinner at my Uncle Jerry's house. We were able to share a little bit of California with them when we made a Pizookie. Despite the fact that my uncle didn't want a pizookie because the ice cream would melt, he ended up liking it and half-heartedly admitted it in the end.
After a day of non-stop activity, it was definitely time for bed so we could be well-rested for what the next day would bring us.
Stay tuned for day 2!
