Boston and NY pictures

Aubrey had these pictures on her phone from our tourist adventures through Boston and New York City.

Always my first stop: Paul Revere's house.




 At Paul  Revere's grave:


 The caricature that an artist at Fanneuil Hall made for Aubrey and Joel.

 The tea party ship

 Somehow I managed to get my uncoordinated body up onto the Henry Knox marker.
 Waiting for the marathoners to come through.  I had no idea a bomb was going to go off right across the street!

 After our hotel lockdown was over on marathon night, we had to walk pretty far to find an open restaurant. We had to help Mark walk because his legs were pretty trashed from running the marathon.

 In New York, Mark posed with the M&M Elvis.  We bought nothing at this store.  $15.00 a pound for M&Ms was a little crazy, even if you can pick your colors.
 Going up the escalator to the Disney Store.  I believe we were the only parents to walk out of there without buying anything.  Why would you buy something in Times Square and have to pack it in your luggage when you can order the same thing online, use a discount code and have it shipped straight to your house?  It is funny that my teenagers still love the Disney store!
 Mark and Joel found the Ferrari store in NYC.
 We loved our walks through Central Park.

Awesome pictures. Thanks for sharing! And we're so very grateful you are still here to post them after the bombing. Not everyone can say they were so close to a terrorist attack and survived. Heavenly Father was watching out for you and your family!
