Beka and I left Phoenix on May 6th for
our 10 day trip to celebrate her completion of high school
and my completion of 23 years of homeschooling!
Well ... actually it was a trip to Ohio to see
James' show...
then on to Boston to visit Beka's future school!
We had a blast and made some great memories!
We first went to Cincinnati, Ohio
for James' Freshman Showcase at CCM!
Brother Steve and family live there.
Grandma and Grandpa Guyer came
for the weekend as well as Aunt Lisa and Aunt Annette!
So fun having everyone together!
Cousins enjoying each other in Uncle Steve's backyard -
the amazing pirate ship playground he designed and built!
Preparations for our wonderful dinner
of cheese fondue and grilled delights!
We all went to James' showcase performance!
Wow, It was amazing!
So happy we could be there! Check out videos here!
Afterwards we went to the cutest Irish Pub for a great family time!
For Mother's Day James, Beka and I explored
some beautiful spots in Cinci
then went out for a great dinner!
Love my boy! Sure miss having him around!
Cute Cousins!
Steve and his adorable family!
Next stop ... A visit to The Boston Conservatory!
As of now, Beka is planning to attend there in the Fall!
Check out her link for details!
It's in a beautiful part of town!
The dorms are old brownstones...right next to the conservatory!
Just a couple blocks from the school is "Newberry Street" -
8 blocks of beautiful shopping and restaurants!
Looks like a great place to hang out!
So cute!
A great place to study so close by!
We had lunch at an awesome spot!
We took a walking tour of old Boston...first stop an old cemetery!
Sam Adams, Paul Revere, John Hancock
and others were buried here...amazing!
Paul Revere on his horse and the Old North Church!
Clam Chowder at this fabulous spot in Fanueil Hall!
This "Red Brick Road" was the path that lead us around town...
It's called the Freedom Trail!
It's exciting to watch how God is opening doors and leading James and Beka in amazing ways I never could have dreamed up. Just not so sure how I feel about it! It's been hard enough to have James in Ohio these past 9 months....and it's even more difficult to think of my "baby" being so far from home! But then again, I can't imagine Beka not pursuing such an open door! She is very excited to get started on some great training at an awesome school for Musical Theater! This summer will be a busy one for sure!
