I just got back from Boston! It was my first time on the East Coast. My friend Amber and I visited our friend Liz, whose husband is going to school at Harvard Law. We were glad to see her and visit the sites around Boston. We got there on a Thursday afternoon and were able to do a session at the Boston Temple. On Friday we walked the Freedom Trail... it was wonderful and exhausting! :) Friday night I got to have dinner with one of my BYU roommates who's going to Harvard (Laura Taylor!). On Saturday, we drove to Plymouth, MA and went to the Plimoth Plantation. The best part was getting in for free (a benefit of being a travel agent)! We also got to go on the Mayflower replica, see the "awesome" plymouth rock and have yummy New England clam chow-"dah". Oh and I got to see the Atlantic Ocean for the first time. yeah! On Sunday Amber and I attended a singles ward at the Longfellow chapel. That afternoon Amber and I rode the T (Boston's subway) by ourselves to take a tour of Fenway park. So cool!!!! When we got back Liz had a yummy dinner for us and the 3 of us stayed up late talking. On Monday Liz drove us to Mt. Auburn cemetery where we climbed this tower that had an awesome view of Cambridge and Boston. We enjoyed a nice walk in the cemetery too... that's right, old cemeteries are awesome!! :) We also walked to Harvard Square to have lunch, do some souvenir shopping and see Harvard Memorial Hall. We walked along the Charles River on the way back before Liz had to take us to the airport. The next time we see Liz she will be a mom!!
