My 4th time to Boston this year!
Occasion this time was to see Beka in ...
The Fantastics!
Added bonus: my brother Tom and sister Lisa joined me!
We had a little time with Beka - though she was so busy
with rehearsals, performances and midterms - poor baby!
In front of her dorm!
At
Pavement - Beka's favorite coffee shop -
now we know why...great coffee and great atmosphere!
After one of her shows Uncle Tom took us all
to the top of the
Prudential building for treats -
beautiful views of the city at night from the 52nd floor!
We enjoyed many special meals out...
Great sibling times!
oldest restaurant in continuous service in the U.S...
(This pic is from when I went there in May -
It was freezing there this time!!!)
...where we had delicious clam chowder!
We walked the whole trail and enjoyed seeing all the historical landmarks!
In three days we walked over 10 miles all around the city -
earning all the good food we ate!
Lisa and I enjoyed a meal together, after Tom left,
in the North End! It totally lived up to all the recommendations!
Again in the Italian district...just a down home, simple place with
great food and nice people! We asked the locals where
to get the best pizza...and this was it! Check out the
cheap prices and pics...what a great little place!
Do you recognize this sign...
Lisa and I loved seeing this...
so many memories reading this book to our kids!
Adorable brass sculpture in the park!
Great rates this time of year and just a 5 minute walk to Beka's school!
On Sunday we stopped back there from being out and about
Looks like a great option for Beka
and soooo close! The next day as I was at
Pavement with Beka, the one leader we met at the
church walked up to chat!
God is amazing!
Another reason for this trip was to try to find an apartment
for Beka for next year. I had searched for hours on-line
and talked to many realtors before my trip. I drew
to school. Long story short: this is the place I thought
would be great - but couldn't get ahold of anyone before
I got there. Check out the map to see where
this actually is...nothing could be closer!
We walked by it on the Sunday and asked God
to open doors cause it seemed so perfect!
Miracles do happen! We were able to see it, sign papers,
get it rented - all within a matter of a few hours the next day!
The amazing thing is that it's less $ than most, in a condo
building (so less noisy), and so close to school!
This is what you see when you step out the front door...
The school is straight ahead!
We're so thankful to the Lord for providing the perfect place!
All this is just 3 1/2 days in Boston...
a wonderful amazing trip!
