So, school got out on Friday the 1st and we flew to the East Coast for our family vacation the next day on the 2nd. We were so excited to spend time with Matt's twin brothers family and Matt's parents and sister were also vacationing there as well. So, it was just meant for us to visit. This is longest time the kids and I have been on a plane and been that faraway from home. It was hard for me adjusting not being able to stick to our usual routines, but we all survived and after a couple of days I was feeling better. Our first stop was Boston, next New Hampshire and then our final destination was the Southern Maine Coast.
Bunker hill was neat! It was a huge tower that has 294 circular steps to the top. We and all the kids went to the very top. Boy! That was a work out! My legs felt like jello afterwards and we were all sore the next day, but it was worth it. Carter and Miles climbed the stairs twice in a row, now if that doesn't make us adults feel out of shape. Carter said his legs felt like they were on fire! My (SIL) Laura was a great tour guide for us since she has been to Boston before. We walked...walked...and walked. Did I mention that we walked..well we did alot of it! A few of us had blisters on the back of our heels from all the walking. My other (SIL) Tracy introduced me to this chapstick type stuff for your feet so you don't get blisters. It worked great! Our feet were feeling so much better. Thanks Tracy! We saw and did so many neat things that we kind of forgot that we walked so much. We did it with no strollers and all the kids did great!
The USS Constitution Museum was fun for the kids to act as a pirate would. What a fun place it was to see all the different stuff pirates ate and did while on the ocean. We only had a short time before it closed, but it was time well spent in that place. The inner harbor ferry that we rode to and from to the museum was also a great highlight too.
Our hotel was in a nice location and we could see the Charles River from our window where the fireworks would be shot off barges in the water.All the cousins loved buddying around with each other. They had blast together!

So fun! I am so glad that you did Bunker Hill You will have to tell Jamie about it! It looks like you had fun and I am glad! But I'm more happy to have you back on the West Coast!
You rock stars!!! Melissa talked me into going up those blasted stairs and I thought I was going to die, especially when they start getting smaller!!! The view was worth wanting to slide down the stairs on my butt get to the bottom! I am glad that you had fun!!!
