Nothing says summer like a vacation back east, New England to be exact. Last year we went to upper state New York and this year...New England areas. The one thing that amazes me about the east is all the trees and how the highways are surrounded by thick thick green lush, it is so beautiful. I also was amazed by the beaches, many of you may have seen paintings of beaches in the upper East, with the little white picket fence that is half falling over...yes it truly does exist. There were so many wonderful things to see. We were able to go to Plymouth and I found out that my cousin Priscilla is named after an ancestor of ours who actually sailed on the mayflower Priscilla Mullins. It was pretty exciting to know that I have such a neat heritage. The Cape was so beautiful and Nantucket was very relaxing. While there we ate lobster by the sea, oh it was SO delicious! One of the great things about traveling is studying up on the places, and then going there and being like, "oh this person really walked here, or this was so and so's house. I was in awe the whole time we were in Paul Revere's home. Another Highlight was walking the Grounds of Brown University in Rhode island and Harvard University in Cambridge. What a spirit of intelligence that runs on those grounds. I heard from a friend who put it this way, "You feel like your IQ raises by ten points just being on the grounds." Boston is Beautiful, but a Tricky city to navigate...Time to buy a GPS unit. Here are some pics to enjoy!
