Niagara Falls

Niagara Falls was one of our stops on our way to New York City. Chris had surprised me by booking us a room at the Hilton in Canada that overlooked both Niagara Falls and the American Falls. It had a great view! Chris had also made arrangements for us to have dinner at the restaurant on the top floor of the hotel. We had an amazing view of the falls and just happened to be there on a night that they did fireworks over the falls.

The next day we got to go on the Maid of the Mist, which is a boat that takes you up by the base of the waterfalls. It was so much fun! You get to wear these really attractive ponchos so you don't get soaked. When we got up really close it felt like we were in a downpour.

Boston Trip

We took a trip to Boston in July with Chris' parents. I had no idea there was so much to do there. We even ended up staying longer than we had planned to try and fit in more. We took the red-eye flight in and started touring just as soon as we got there. Unfortunately that first day is a bit of a blur as a result of getting very little sleep that night. We went on the Duck tours which takes you on a tour of the city in an amphibious vehicle that goes both on land and water. Marlene and I really struggled staying awake during it though. There are so many historical sites in Boston. We got to see Paul Revere's house, the Old North Church (where the lanterns were hung), the USS Constitution, the Old State House, the Boston Massacre site, several burying grounds, and the John F. Kennedy museum. We went on a whale watch which was so much fun. I was surprised by how many whales we were actually able to see. One of the other activities I really enjoyed was riding on the Swan Boats in the park there. We had some really wonderful food while in Boston. We found a place in the Little Italy part of town called Giovanni's. It was amazing! If you're ever in Boston I would definately reccommend it. We had the best Boston Cream Pie at Legal Seafoods on Larry's birthday. I have never seen so many Dunkin' Donuts in my life. It seems like they have one on every block there in Boston. We went up to Salem to see the Witch Museum, which just so happened to close early that day. It was quite the disappointment. We did however get to see the House of the Seven Gables. On our way out of the city we stopped by Fenway Park for the boys. Then Chris and I went and spent a few hours at Six Flags. We had such a great time in Boston and from there we drove to New York.

Happy Anniversary!!!

Wow, it's hard to believe that it's been two years since Chris and I got married! What a wonderful two years it has been. We have had so much fun together and it just keeps getting better. Here's a little flashback of our wedding day...
