Trudi, Char, and I went to downtown Boston last week.
Next time will go much smoother I'm sure. We pretty much were just lost little soles, but it's okay.
First, it took us a couple hours to find the METRO (subway...or whatever), but don't worry - we eventually found it!
Then we got off at the wrong exit and it was freaking GHETTO and SCARY! I got freaked out!! I was clutching my purse soo tight and just thinking every one was a gang member and going to shoot me.
Plus. we stood out in the crowd so bad. Everyone was staring at us cause we were young, married, modest, and had a baby. It was so funny. All the people just love little Nixon.
We finally made it to the good tourist area in Boston after walking around for a while...
We went shopping at Urban Outfitters, and it was just lovely as usual.
We were starving to death, so we stopped to eat at Cheers!
Nixon was our entertainment. Such a cutie.
Cheers!!! (can you even read my glass?)
I love the people's accents here - it's so funny. They say clam chowda and two dolla. We get a kick out of it, and whenever I tell people I'm from Utah, they just want to know ALL about it.
Trudi, Nixon, and I
Mr. Samuel Adams
We went to the spot where the street dancers go and this freaking CRAZY lady was there dancing. She was seriously nuts. She kept pulling up her shirt and letting her rolls hang out bluh!! Then she put a hat down on the ground for money, and she was just awful!!!!!!! The real street dancers kept turning off the music so she would go away, but as soon as they turned in on, she would jump in the middle and go at it.
Bless her crazy homeless heart
Here are some pics of the real street dancers. They were pretty funny. They wanted the crowd to form a smaller circle and they said, "Don't worry, we don't have weapons. We are unarmed"
Oh thanks.
Look at this cute little dude. He was like 6!!

We also went the Holocaust Memorial....

You walk through a bunch of towers that have all of the numbers the jews were assignmed with in the camps. It's crazy how many numbers are on those walls. And steam shoots up from the ground... kinda interesting!
One last picture of the city...soo cool!
Then we took the metro back. We took a couple wrong exits, and it took us pretty much triple the amount of time it should've taken us to get back hahah next time we will know!!
Nixon thought the train was COOOOL!
So pretty and so fun!!!!!
It's like a never-ending vacay! Love it!!
