BOSTON

Brent and I took a 2 day tour from NYC to Boston. It definitely wasn't long enough! We had a good time and have many HILARIOUS stories from the journey!

Our first stop was at Yale. Here is the statue of Nathan Hale.

Mystic Aquarium was the next stop. We got to see the beluga whales among other animals.
We went to the Breakers Mansion, a vacation home for the Vanderbuilts. It is incredible! So beautiful and ornate!
Finally, we arrived in Boston in the early evening. It is a gorgeous city, and we will definitely go back!
Brent enjoying his slice from Pizzeria Regina. Thanks Lauren & Tyler for the wonderful suggestion! It was terrific! I wish we had time to also visit Giacomo's.
The following morning we went first to Harvard. The campus is so beautiful. The library is below, the fourth largest in the world.

M.I.T. followed. The building below was designed by I.M. Pei.
Trinity Church

We went on a boat tour around the harbor. There were some gorgeous views!





Lastly, we went to Quincy Market for lunch and shopping. We enjoyed Boston so much and can't wait to go back sometime!
