April Vacation

I know people are waiting for updates... like, didn't you go to Boston over vacation? Then where are your pictures??? Well, like that line from Big Fish, time slowed down over vacation and afterwards extra-fast to catch up. So here I am, two weekends later, finally able to sit down and post!

The first thing I did, the day before I left, was visit some imps. I wish I still lived near them because I miss them so much! Even though they were bigger than I remember them being (how did that happen?), they are still the same mischievous little lovebugs.

(I can't wait to see you guys this summer!!!)


And then the next day I made it to Boston. There is a simple concept here, but one that evades me sometimes: the closer you get to the equator, the warmer it is. Thus, while everything is brown and mucky and lifeless here in Maine, then in Boston they are actually having this thing called Spring. Whoa.

This is a rose garden not too far from the hostel that I used as a refuge when the city was too loud or populated. As there are no roses (yet), people rarely went in there.



Much of the first afternoon I spent avoiding goose poop while taking pictures of flowers and trees. I was too tired from traveling to do anything exciting!



More later-- I promise!

Hey Em--

Looks like you had a great time in Boston aside from avoiding the poop ;)

I love Boston, such a great city.

Nevada is good, but Jay and I are starting to miss Maine...actually we may consider moving back next year, but we will see. The school systems here are HORRIBLE and everyday on the news there is at least one shooting at a school....something we don't want Finn to ever have to deal with. So we'll see...plus I miss the ocean.

Hope life is treating you well and you're not getting too crazy for the end of school ;)
