October 2010 Travels

I was invited to a wedding in Boston in October.  This was my first time to Boston, and I loved it.  The weather was perfect.  Here are a few pics from the trip and wedding.

Wedding

The wedding was really pretty and the reception was tons of fun.  I love a fun wedding!




Tour of Boston


Posing in downtown Boston

Granary Cemetery- dates back to the 1660's.  Bodies that lie here include: Samuel Adams, Paul Revere, John Hancock, victims of the Boston Massacre (March 1770), Ben Franklin's Parents, and Mother Goose

Holmes' Headstones- maybe we are related?

Boston Common

The North Church (One if by land, Two if by sea)

Inside the Church

U.S.S. Constitution


The famous Mike's Pastry!

The line was out the door....... (supposedly always is)

This is me waiting with excitement.....

I'll take 5 of those....

Our purchases- Confession- I have a bit of a sweet tooth.  Mike's Pastry is known for it's cannoli's...but I had to delight in some other treats as well: Red Velvet Whoopie Pie, Chocoloate Covered Strawberries, Oreo Cheesecake, Black and White Cookie, Lobster Tail (hiding), and Cannoli's!

Heaven

A really trendy hotel- had to get a solo shot by the name

See....trendy lobby.  I love staying in trendy hotels-

This is a stock photo I found of the room- Cool right?  They had fresh Cucumber and Strawberry water offered in the lobby 24/7, complimentary wine from 5:00-6:00 and the staff was most helpful. 


Overall Boston was amazing.  We walked the Freedom trail, I tried the Clam Chowder at the oldest pub in Boston, and we ate at Lemoncello's one night.  The best Italian food of my life.  It was here I fell in love with Chianti wine and meat balls. ha. 


The restaurante is located on the 'North End'.  The guy who started it, was a bus boy from Italy.  He won the lottery, and brought his family members to America to work in the restaurant.  Please go here if you go to Boston.  The food is amazing.  I will have to go back sometime. My mouth is watering just thinking of it!
