Rick and Angie in Boston!

Rick and Angie spent a nice long weekend here with us in Boston, and even stayed with J and I at Casa Langlois. We did a few things here in the Boston area, like the Freedom Trail and climbing the 204 steps of Bunker Hill Monument, but we also drove North of Boston to Newburyport. It was so nice to get out of the city and see some of the beautiful fall colors. We went to Newburyport to visit Peter and Allison at their church, Hope Community Church. Allison is the sister of Jeremy (Justin's sisters husband). We really enjoyed the service and only wish the church was closer. The town of Newburyport is so quaint and the downtown area has a lot going on. Justin and I would love to go back for a weekend getaway! Newburyport is right on the eastern coastline so we were able to dip our feet into the Atlantic Ocean. It was an unseasonably warm fall day...perfect weather for our day trip outside of the big city!



Mother and Son enjoying the wind and sun of Massachusetts!
Father and Son enjoying a stroll together on the eastern most part of the U.S. (well not technically, but we were at the Ocean, so pretty close).



Bunker Hill Monument (this is very close to where Brandon and Jenny live in Charlestown).
These are the hammocks where crew members slept 3 floors below the deck of the U.S.S Constitution. J and I had been on the ship before, but never below deck.

Ahhh, beautiful fall colors...just ask Justin...I had been craving Fall colors, and I finally was able to enjoy them on our drive to Newburyport, MA.
It was wonderful to have Rick and Angie out here in Boston, after all, Boston will always be our first home as a married couple! We made steak salad (of course) and enjoyed each other's company.
