Bean town

Kristen and I on the T

 This past week Kristen and I went to Boston for a quick vacation.

First Sam Adams beer in Boston.

On the day we bought tickets on the "T", the Boston subway.  We took the T to our hotel and checked in.  From there we took the T to Hard Rock Cafe to eat.  Drank some of Boston's freshest Samuel Adams beer.....Mmmmmmm.  Then we went to an improv comedy club.  It was our first time at an improv comedy club..., it was funny.  They even made fun of us.  Mostly Kristen and her tanning business, but a little of me too.  Haha.  It was funny.

On the trolley

The next day we started bright and early (Kristen hated me) and got on a tour bus.  Our driver was a true Bostonian and was fun.  We saw some really cool stuff.

Where everybody knows your name

Birthplace of Edgar Allen Poe

Fenway Park..., Home of the Boston Red Sox.  It's turning 100 this year.

We rode around the trolley's "circuit of the city and then decided to walk to a few of the more interesting places.

Our first snow fall of the year

Where the Deceleration of Independence was first read to the public

Paul Revere's house

Freedom trail (a red line walking path to see all the touristy places)

Some old crooked street

Site of the Boston massacre..., OK, this was not too tasteful

USS Constitution

Kristen sleeping next to a seal at the aquarium

Dippin dots..., why not?  It's 17 degrees outside

Sharks at the IMAX!

We spent this whole rest of this day walking around Boston.  We were pooped!

The next morning the snow started!!!  And it didn't stop all day!!!  Kristen really wanted to go to Salem to learn about and see where the witch trials took place.

Unfortunately, almost half of the touristy places were closed because we came during the off season (cold months).  There were a few good places open though and we had a great time.

I'm talking to a real witch!

Salem was very......., interesting.....

The next day we woke up and went straight to the Sam Adams brewery.... and that was AWESOME!

I saw a great quote there... "Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy." -Ben Franklin

Come hell or high water (or snow), we were going to make it to the brewery!

Dreams do come true

Candy

Free Sam Adams!

Heaven!

 After the brewery tour we walked around a little bit and went shopping..... good times.

Well..., that was our trip to Boston.  From there we flew to Baltimore, MD and then rented a car and drove to Dover, DE.  We'll be here for this week.

Boston was fun.  Snow is pretty until cars run over it and make it dirty. You need waterproof boots if you want to walk in the snow. That pretty much sums up our week.  Good times.  Till next week...., See ya!
