Honeymoon! Part Two: NEW YORK

NEW YORK
Just the view from our hotel...we aren't spoiled or anything!
Resting our tired feet in Rockefeller Center after a 3 hour train ride from Boston. We went through Providence, Rhode Island and New Haven, Connecticut (putting this on the list of must travel to spots)!
Romantic Carriage Ride through Central Park...enough said!!!
I have the most amazing husband...he treats me to little blue boxes! There is nothing quite like shopping on 5th Avenue!
These are a few of my favorite things in New York! Huge fan of daffodils and tulips...they were stunning. We stayed in Times Square...and loved it. Don't laugh about those hilarious sandals you see there. We finally found A&F and bought flip flops for our pathetic feet. We had walked about 6 miles a day in Boston and did not chose the best shoes...note taken: pack good walking shoes when visiting the East Coast!
Our second day in New York was spent traveling all over Manhattan. We started off at Grand Central Terminal where we jumped on a Subway toward the Financial District. We toured Battery Park for a while and snuck a peek at the Statue of Liberty. It was a gorgeous, sunny day! We left from there a headed to Ground Zero. We were taken back by the memorial...it really hit Brad close to home visiting the Fire Station and the memorial for the Firefighters that were lost that tragic day. After that we walked over to Wall St....amazing! We had lunch in Noho and walked 35 blocks to the Empire State building; passing Union Square and NYU on our way!
Our thid day was spent in Soho; amazing place!!! We at dinner at our hotel that night in their revolving room overlooking Manhattan...the food was outstanding and it was so nice not to have to travel far.

Honeymoon! Part One: BOSTON



Here we are at the airport...waiting patiently for my Mom to bring my "forgotten" wallet...we were already running behind (BIG surprise!)
Here is Brad doing a GREAT job of being the sweet, understanding, patient husband who simply adores his unorganized and forgetful new wife.
THE FREEDOM TRAIL
Our first day in Boston was spent walking the Freedom Trail! Boston is such a beautiful place...we couldn't get over how green and quiet it was. Later we discovered it was Patriot's Day...and the Boston Marathon that drew much of Boston's inhabitants and guests to Copley Place. We had a great time having the city to ourselves for a while...but really, who starts their day at 7am unless you are on your way to work?
We ate dinner at GRILL23....highly recommend it if you're in the area!
All the best things in life begin with B! Those including...Boston Red Sox (above) & Bosters (below)!!!

On our last day in Boston we finished up shopping on Newbury St. (my favorite street!) and finished up the Freedom Trail, while still "finding" time to visit Mike's Pastry & Little Italy.

One of the best cities in America!!!

Bachelorette Lunch

I celebrated my last unmarried weekend with some of my favorite ladies. We went to my favorite winery and had a spectacular lunch. It was so nice to have a break from all of our unfinished projects. This is definitely something I could make a part of my weekly routine! Thank you to Debbie for treating us, what a wonderful mother-in-law (MIL) I have. I am already a part of the family but I am honored to inherit the last name Boster.

Crunch Time

More time consuming "brilliant" ideas...just as bad as the swarovski crystals on the invites. Jen and I love coming up with grueling tasks that bring us closer together! Poor Stacie got dragged into the process. We are hopeful that because we worked so hard the sun will shine down brightly on our wedding day!
ONE week to go...
