Miner Family

Brad thought he was pretty clever coming up with the name the Boston Pee Party for our trip back east. Being about 8 months pregnant at the time of our trip made for quite the adventure. Now I am not one to usually get motion sickness on an airplane, but on our trip to and from Boston by plane, I almost threw up. We also got to know the location of just about every public restroom in the city of Boston, which I'm afraid can be hard to come by at times. We flew into Hartford, Connecticut and flew out of Providence, Rhode Island, so we got to visit quite a few states in the matter of days. We were able to stop in Concord and Lexington to see where the "shot heard round the world" was fired and also went to Salem and learned a little more about the witch trials. Our main travels were within the heart of Boston where we walked the Freedom Trail and saw famous sites such as Fenway Park, Bunker Hill and Paul Revere's house. We also made a stop in Plymouth to see a replica of the Mayflower and visit a reconstructed village of the original Plymouth colony. More than anything, I left with an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for being born in this day and age where we enjoy modern conveniences, and also for those who gave their lives to the cause of freedom. Tyson may have had some hard feelings against us for abandoning him for a few days, but luckily he has a short memory. We brought him back a Boston Red Sox hat, which he wears on occasion if he is in the mood. Overall, it was a great trip and we were grateful for the time we had together to celebrate five years of wedded bliss!
