Boston without Katie

Jon traveled to Boston for work last week. He was there to celebrate the wrap up of his project and to receive recognition for his contribution. Katie sent him this "I miss you!" picture while he was gone.



Katie had her first sleepover with Meme and Papa. I don't have any pictures of her weekend, but I know she had a blast. She got a balloon from their local florist and had breakfast at Cracker Barrel. I joined Jon in Beantown for the weekend. Here are some of our trip highlights.

We took a swan boat ride in the Public Garden.



We found the World's largest carrots at the Boston Farmer's Market (where they yell at you for touching the vegetables, so don't do it!!!)



We jogged along the Charles River. It was nice to jog without the Texas humidity.



Jon's company gave him an iPod touch as part of his award. We never noticed all the billboards for the iPod touch until he owned one.



The North End is our favorite area of Boston - because of Mike's Pastry, Regina's Pizza, and Giacomo's - Yum!



Bunker Hill Monument - 294 steps to the top. We made it!



Here is the brunch that gave us the energy for the climb up 294 steps! This is Jon's order of Eggs Benedict. I had Raspberry Cream Cheese French Toast. At 75 Chestnut they have Chocolate Saturdays. This means after your decadent meal they bring out a sampler of chocolate desserts for free. How can you say no to Chocolate Creme Brulee at no charge?



This video clip Jon took the other night while he was home alone with Katie. She likes to sit in the chair in our office and demand you hand her toys from her toy box. She likes to have all her stuffed animals crowded around her.
