Picture Pages


This IS the job that I want! We were walking along Beacon St. and heard a whole lot of barking. Turn around and find a short school bus full of dogs. They were being dropped off at their homes after a day at doggie day care!

Mt. Auburn cemetery. This was one of the most beautiful cemeteries I've ever seen.

This stone almost brought me to tears. I'd love to work on this image with Photoshop and see what I come up with.






I'm no math wiz, but there seems to be something amiss with this one.


Old North Church



Anyone want to venture a guess as to what this is? It was in the church.


Copp Hill Cemetery

It's True Folks....



...we got to hang out with the coolest guy in Beantown! That's M (from Smoke and Mirrors), me and Nittanybri from our recent trip.

For those of you that have never been to Boston, you need to go. It is a pretty cool place. It's the big city without becoming overwhelming like NYC can be.

  • The "T", super simple and it takes you everywhere
  • Have a beer or two at Cheers, it's wicked fun! And not the one in Faneuil Hall, go to the one on Beacon St.
  • Definitely relax in Boston Common and enjoy all the doggies!
  • Have chowda at Union Oyster House, just get the bowl and be done with it.
  • See Mt. Auburn cemetery in Cambridge, it is just stunning. Maybe you can catch a glimpse of a coyote or two.
  • Challenge your brain at the MIT museum, it's not just ho-hum nerd-dorkery! Be sure to check out the exhibit from their artist in residence Arthur Ganson, absolutely fascinating. The exhibit is called Gestural Engineering. You'll find yourself mesmerized!
  • The Old North Church, it's a great place, everyone should see it.
  • And while you are in the North End for the love of God, don't forget to eat. If you did, your nose musn't be working. The odors that come out of these restaurants is sinful. On the list of things to eat is definitely cannoli's. You can grab one and run or sit and have a cappucino and take in the sites. Either way, delish!

There will be many pics to share in the near future. We had a super time!!!

Wisenheimers

You have to get up pretty early in the morning to fool you guys! Yup, it's true, we're heading up to Boston this week. It will be fun-fillled for sure. This will be NittanyBri's first time in Bean Town, it has been years for me so I am looking forward to being there again. We also get to meet, live and in person, one of my long time blogger buddies Mr. Smoke & Mirrors!!! Lastly, after we spend a few days in Boston whooping it up with M, we'll be finishing up our trip in Vermont to visit with my nephew who is currently attending Norwich Univ.
Neither I nor Bri has been to Vermont before. We'll be about an hour away from Ben & Jerry's, YUM! Also, Friday is my nephew's birthday. His 21st birthday. You see where I'm going with this? I may need to pack extra Advil for the morning after.

OK, It Wasn't as Bad as I Thought

We went to Ocean City, Maryland for the weekend in spite of Hanna making a big deal out of things on Saturday. It really wasn't that bad, but Saturday was a wash. Sunday was beautiful and we spent the day on Assateague Island, home to the wild horses. We took the dog with us this weekend so we had to go to a dog friendly beach. Jasmine didn't have as much fun as we hoped she would. She wasn't quite sure about those waves. We did get to see some horses and lots of dogs. Here are a few of my favorite pics from the weekend.
