The Jacobs Visit

Over Labor Day weekend we were thrilled to have some friends from our good old Wymount days come to visit!  We had a blast with the Jacobs and got to do a lot of sightseeing.  It was also so fun to catch up and let our boys become friends (again!).   

Here we are on the swan boats- frond row!
Michael and Alan loved climbing and rolling down Bunker Hill
At the Bunker Hill Monument with William Prescott statue 
April and I with our boys on the USS Constitution
Dad and and the boys on the "pirate ship"
Family photo at the helm!
Here's old Ironsides herself.  We had never been there as a family before.
Scott and Alan at Faneuil Hall
These boys were pretty dang good while walking the entire freedom trail. Sometimes they didn't care all that much about the historical sites, but oh how they HAD TO touch this big random noodle in the middle of the city.
Here we are at Thoreau's cabin
And at Walden Pond
Being the silly boys that they are :)

They boys had a blast exploring the "secret passageways" at the North Bridge. 

It was so fun to see friends and have a reason to go exploring as a family.  So as a shout out to any other friends from our good old Wymount days... we'd love to have you! See how much fun we can have! And to any other friends from any other good old days... we'd love to have you too!  And of course any family that we can get. Let us know when you're coming. We have a room all ready for you. :)

  4. SO fun! I've lived on the east coast most of my life, but have never been to Boston. It's definitely on our list of places to go. We will have to let you know when we make it up there.
