You know that brand "Life is Good"? Well I guess it started in Boston and there are stores everywhere and we thought we should make a counter brand... but apparently someone already beat us to it. Pretty funny.
We made it to the Samuel Adams' brewery in Boston, probably the most touristy thing we did during our trip. Cool tour, but really scary part of town. Here's Jared tasting the wares.
Lola (left) and Sophie (right) are Jerry and Steve's dogs. So funny. *Where's the big dog?*
View of the skyline from the top of the Bunker Hill Monument. Cool view, but...
The 294 stairs to the top make it a difficult view. Three days later my calves still hurt!
We headed east to the beach and a little New England town called Rockport. It was so much cooler on the water, but there were a lot more people (and some REALLY good ice cream).
Cemetaries in New England are so cool! And a lot of them are incredibly well-preserved. The skulls and other art on the tombstones are neat. And the dates blow your mind.
Boston Holocaust Memorial. There are 6 columns, each etched with the numbers of prisoners in them. And at night they're lit up and have steam running through them. Very moving.
Dunkin' Donuts is a Boston thing. There's one on EVERY corner. It's ridiculous! Jared liked this one because it was kosher. It's in Priya's new neighborhood too!
Jared and his uncle Jerry waiting outside the Old North Church. That day was really fun, we followed part of the Freedom Trail and saw some of the old sites and then spent some time in Little Italy. Can we say cannoli?
The "Make Way for Ducklings" statue in the Public Gardens.
I highly recommend Boston to anyone looking for a great trip! :)

Great photos - looks like a good time was had by all, and makes me really want a vacation!!!
P.S. Thought it was "Make Way for Ducklings" (just happens to be an area in which I am somewhat knowledgeable :)
