East Coast Trip

I have been putting of writing this blog... Somehow writing it will make it seem like a distant memory.  Mike and I had an amazing time on our trip.  I was NOT ready to come home!  Mike was.  I did miss the girls but if I could have just seen them for 10 minutes, I would be good.  Nothing like coming home and jumping right back into it all!  No slowly getting back into the swing of things.

We didn't take many pictures.  Boston is an amazing city and I can proudly say we walked the entire city almost everyday!  Good thing because we also ate our way through the city! Oh my gosh... the food!  The seafood.  I think we had 3 or 4 lobster rolls!   And we didn't gain much weight so the walking helped!  We did they touristy things.. went on the Freedom Trail, a duck tour, and ate at all the touristy restaurants.  We had a pint at the first bar in America.   I must say the North End's Italian food rivals Little Italy in New York City.  The cannoli's were AMAZING!  I may just do a mail order!   The older I get realize how important and interesting history is!  At one point on our duck tour we were heading down the same street that Paul Revere rode up! 

After 3 glorious days in Boston, we headed to Connecticut.  We took the scenic route and saw some amazing beaches and trees.  We were about a week early to see the major leaf colors.  We stayed at a gorgeous resort right on the water in Westbrook Connecticut.

The highlight of the trip was seeing my college roommate Amanda!  She got married and was the most beautiful bride!  It was so great to see her on her special day! I wish we had more time together!
After the wedding brunch we headed to Newport.  I couldn't get enough of this city.  There was the shipyard, the church were the Kennedy's got married, and my favorite part was the mansions!  WOW!  We didn't have much time so we choose one house to see the Breakers.  Built by the Vanderbilt's.  This mansion was over 100,000 sq. feet!  Right on the cliffs of the ocean.  Amazingly beautiful!  This picture doesn't do it justice!

An amazing trip with my amazing husband!  What a wonderful reconnection.  It so nice to have uninterrupted talk time!  I can't wait to do it again! 

Thanks to my wonderful parents for taking care of the girls!  I know it had to be exhausting all the running they had to do!!
