Pumpkin Carving

Now that my trip back east is finally posted, its time to get caught up on October!

I am soo sad that October is over, it is my favorite month {tied with May and July}. I love anything Halloween so I was excited when Linds and Jeff had us over for tacos and pumpkin carving.




Everyone hard at work on their pumpkins, Al was very into making our pumpkin perfect!





The end results, Al's masterpiece is in the middle - he was very proud of it!



Dont mind my creepy eyes from the flash

Thanks Linds and Jeff!

Happy Halloween everyone!

Friends Bday Dinner

A few weeks ago a bunch of the Daybreak girls went to dinner for all the October birthdays. We always have a blast when we go out with the girls and we end up talking for hours.

Last Stop-Boston

Wow I cant believe this is my last Back East post! Sorry for those of you who are sick of it!

We saved the best city for last...visiting Kristin in gorgeous Boston! Everyone keeps asking me which city was my favorite and even though it is hard to compare them because they are all so different, I think I would have to say Boston. It was so beautiful and charming, I could definitely live there! And it was SO fun to see Kristin, we have missed her soo much! Things never change with our friends and seeing Krist proved that, we were just as blunt, funny and retarded as we always were!

After unloading at the hotel we went to see Kristin's darling apartment. Our first picture of the trip in front of her apartment building.

We walked down the street to the Harvard Law School campus where Bryson attends school. It is such a gorgeous campus. Here we are in front of Austin Hall, Memorial Church, and in the Harvard Yard. Then we walked through Harvard Square looking at the shops and we got the best ice cream at Lizzy's.

{Is it bad that this entire trip I knew the history of nothing but I could quote a movie for every destination? Legally Blonde, National Treasure, Night at the Museum, Forrest Gump, Maid in Manhattan, etc? This trip made me realize that I really need to study up on my US History!}


The gorgeous Charles River
In front of the Charles

Loved walking down Charles St. All of the streets in Boston are so cute.

Boston Common
Massachusetts State House


That night we had dinner at Legal Seafood

Day 2 started out with brunch at The Friendly Toast

Such a cute, funky hang out
After brunch we started our day as tourists!

Our first stop was the Park Street Church and then to the Granary Burying Ground where Paul Revere is buried.
Oh Megs!


Walking The Freedom Trail
We walked past Kings Chapel and Burial Ground, the Ben Franklin statue, the Old South Meeting House, H&M of course (we went to at least one in every city!) and then to Faneuil Hall.


Linds loves her mac & cheese
Brooke receiving some sort of proclamation from this street performer.

We walked in and out of shops and then to the North End and the waterfront.

Love the streets and buildings

The U.S.S. Constitution...this marine was loving us!



That night we went to dinner on the North End and had some delicious Italian, Kristin definitely made sure we ate at the best of the best in Boston.

Krist came back to our hotel and hung out that night and then we had to say goodbye because she had to go to work the next day :( It was sad but we cant wait to see her in December!

The next day we went on a tour of Fenway Park which was actually really interesting and cool.


We had the cutest little old man tour guide who was hilarious.



After Fenway, we went to Copley Square and Trinity Church
After that, we went to Newbury Street and ate lunch at Stephanie's then stopped in another H&M of course!

Then it was time to go back to the hotel and go home :(

Thank you Krist for letting us come visit you...you were a fabulous tour guide and it was so fun seeing where you live! Cant wait for our next girls trip!

Back East-Part 2: NYC

On to NYC! Me, Meg and Pris got there Wednesday night and stayed with Priscila's brother-in-law who lives there. Well we didn't so much stay with him as we did kick him out! :) He was so nice to let us take over his apartment for a night!
The next morning Brooke and Linds got in, took a nap at our hotel and then we started our day!
Radio City Music Hall

Top of the Rock-such a pretty view of everything
WAY better than the Empire State Building BTW, and cheaper :)

You cant go to New York without getting some Frozen Hot Chocolate at Serendipity, yum!
