New England in the Fall

My wonderful husband was bumped from a flight a few months back. The airline gave him a voucher to use at a later date. He gave that voucher to me to use for a girls weekend to go visit my friend Jill. What a treat this trip was. It was a much, MUCH, needed girls weekend away with an awesome friend. We had so much fun, a short weekend but packed with fun all the same.

We started with some sightseeing and shopping in Boston on Friday afternoon/evening. Saturday we had a lazy start to the morning, much needed i might add, and then jumped int he car and started driving. We went to Vermont to see all the beautiful fall colors and walked around some cute little, old, towns along the way. We just spent the day gabbing, walking, eating and taking pictures. it was GREAT. On Sunday we again took our time getting ready and then Jill, her husband Steve and I all went to brunch. it was TASTY. Then Jill and I did a little more shopping before we headed for the airport. A whirlwind of a good weekend. Thanks Rich!!

After picking me up at the airport, Jill and I headed to down town Boston to see what trouble we could find. We were able to find and get tickets for the evenings last harbor cruise. We set sail and started sucking in the exhaust from the boat, we didn't keep these seats for long. There is only so much a girl can handle before she needs clean air!

I loved how the sun was setting as we toured. So pretty with all the sail boats and the skyline of Boston.

Pretty nifty shot, if I do say so myself!

Ready to hit Quincy Market

but first, we had to take this opportunity for a picture

APPLES, what are apples doing growing wild on the side of the mountain? My guess is someone threw their apple core out there and it sprouted a big healthy tree!? it was pretty all the same.

Yup, gotta take the "classic pose" picture! :)

FALL, BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL FALL. OH HOW I MISS THEE!!!!!

We stopped to take a picture of this cute little church. It turned out to be a pretty cool stop and lead us to some pretty cool things...

Revolutionary soldiers. Some of the tombstones in this cemetery dated all the way back to the early 1700's. What an interesting find, it was neat to walk around and see the dates and the way family plots were done way back when. Interesting history we just happened to stumble across.

Robert Frost's grave.

LOVE all the different fall colors in that tree...I couldn't take enough pictures of FALL!

We ended the day at a cute little place called The Peppermill. We were a little chilly after the sun set but were happy to have a table outside and near the water. Great food, a great friend and a great weekend!!

I was sad to leave, but as they say all good things must come to an end. Until the next girls weekend!!
