On the road again...

It was time to head back home.

Connecticut welcomed us.

We had never been to Connecticut before :)

2012 Boston Marathon Day!

I was panicking when I saw how many people were watching the Marathon.  Four rows deep!  I didn't think we would get close enough to see Dan and give him a hug!  God is good, though, and we were able to get up in the front row and hug his neck at mile 26!  Skyeler and I both got pictures of him running towards us.  Then we got pictures of him after he finished.

Later that afternoon, we walked back down to the Boston Gardens and Boston Commons.  Aly wanted to see the Make Way for Ducklings statues in the Gardens.

Boston is the coolest city...and I don't like big cities!

Again, I couldn't choose just one picture.

First we went to the Boston Marathon Expo.  Dan picked up his bib number, and then we looked around at all the cool running stuff.  It was ridiculously loud and crowded!

Afterwards, we went to see the U.S.S. Constitution.  What a great piece of history!

Later that evening we went for a walk to see where the finish line was (so the girls and I could find it in the morning).  We ended up walking down to the Boston Gardens.  Aly was so excited to see the swan boats from Make Way for Ducklings.  Unfortunately, they were not opened up for the season.  It made a beautiful picture, though.

We arrived in Boston today! 

Wow!

It was really hard to pick just one picture for today.

Our first stop was at the American Girl Store - Boston.  Aly and Julie had a great time shopping and a hard time deciding what to buy :)  Dan was so patient.

Second stop, our hotel. Thank you Mom!  The first is a picture of our hotel in downtown Boston (it's the tall skinny one).  The second is the view from our hotel room.
