Boston, MA

November 10th 2010
Boston, what a city! So cute, and old, and GREAT all round atmosphere!
We didn't arrive until dinner time and stupidly thought it would be fine just driving into a city without any idea of where to go, where to stay etc. Luckily we had the sat nav and it guided us to a holiday inn (which I always thought were cheap) NO!!! 200 bucks later- we have a room with a VERY LARGE bed! no complaints there! Me and Scott could both starfish and not even notice either one was in the bed-perfect! LOL!
We went for a walk around town- I insisted I had to see the sea! It was pretty- I did take a picture of the skyline from the docks but on my crappy camera soo wasn't much good!
We both fancied a BIG STEAK for dinner so went to MOOO! haha! cool name for a steak place! pretty sick in fact but yum! We didn't stay up late that night. I know what your thinking, losers! LOL! There's always next time for the big Boston night out! And I'll leave it up to Jenni to take us (you better be there next time Miss Milne!) hehe!

November 11th
Woke up, not so bright and early and checked out!
The sky was perfect- not a cloud in sight and the sun was awesome! I love the old little streets here, they have these really cool street lamps as well.

We stumbled across a Finagle Bagel- WHAT A COOL NAME!! finagle hehehehehe! LOVE it! and had a breakfast bagel and coffee! mmmm deee lish!!!
There was definitely something going on in town, police were everywhere blocking up the streets and tv cameras. We guessed it was some sort of veterans rally maybe?? lots of military peeps dotted around and protesters in front of the tv cameras! FUN!

Through Boston Common- it was soo nice, still lots of colourful leaves on the trees!
This guy was WIERD! he was meditating sitting in the middle of the leaves and had his lap top and cat with him! If only I had a better zoom!! Crazy guy!

 I love tourists!!

Out of the park and a daylight walk to the sea!!! I have a thing for the sea- bit of a fetish I suppose!! I think I might have been a mermaid in a past life!! with Jill!! LOL or maybe just a fish! NAH..mermaid!


















































THE SEA
AND THE GULLS!



THE SKYLINE FROM THE SEA! SHAME I DIDNT GET A GOOD ONE AT NIGHT!












































































THEN...through Quincy Market. Orvis- mums favourite shop in Banchory! haha! soo weird to see it here!






p.s it wouldn't let me add the Sam's at CHEERS photos! BLA!!


























We needed to leave by one :( i was VERY sad about this! I could have stayed and taken photos all day!! But we needed to get back to Bethlehem, PA to return a lap top to Scott's boss! 
I carried on with some camera action on the way out-
THIS ONES FOR JILL-

























It took us about 5 hours to drive back to Bethlehem. It was really pretty driving down through MA and Connecticut (cant believe thats how you spell it-three c's)
We did drive over George Washington Bridge- and OMG it was amazing! the sun was going down and the view over the skyline of New York City!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! just amazing! I wish I could have stopped to take a photograph!! believe me I tried but the stupid bridge was in the way, and car door frame, and scott, and speed!!! eugh!!! It was picture perfect though!!! still thinking about it! OK- I'll show you what I got- hahaha!!! but you can almost see what I mean!! I thought about going through the sun roof!!LOL

After what seemed like the longest road trip in the world!!!! maybe due to the fact we went through five states and had NO RADIO!!!! We finally arrived in Bethlehem, PA, dropped off the lap top and then had a really good thai dinner- and then finally back to Chalfont to SLEEP!!!!! :D
