Happy 10th Anniversary to Us!

Labor Day weekend Marcus and I spent a fabulous weekend in Boston celebrating ten years of marriage. We had such a wonderful time together, and of course it was a treat to get away from our normal routine (which includes four busy children)! Boston is a great city to visit! We loved the restaurants, the history, the shopping, and the weather! It was a nice break from the heat in Mississippi, although I am not sure we would enjoy it in the winter time! We did most of the tourist attractions - a trolley tour of the city, the Freedom Trail, Fenway Park, walking through Beacon Hill, and shopping ("window" shopping, that is) on Newbury St. We took a tour of Harvard one day, and my grandmother got suspicious that Marcus wanted to go back to school. My mother had to explain to her that we just went there as tourists! We also spent a day touring Cape Cod/Hyannisport, and saw the Kennedy Compound from water. All of the food was fabulous! For future reference, our favorite restuarants were Mama Maria's, Stephanie's on Newbury, Boushee, and the Parish Cafe'. And thanks to our neighbors' suggestion we didn't miss the cannoli from Mike's Pastry in the North End (Little Italy). You just should not go to Boston and miss the cannoli!! One night we walked into Little Italy not realizing that it was the Feast of St. Anthony. And wow, it was quite a feast and festivity! There were Italian people everywhere, with beautiful heavy accents and lots of food and parades. It was like nothing I have ever seen, but it was so much fun walking into it not knowing what to expect. We loved this trip to Boston and would love to one day go back! We are so thankful to God blessing us with ten wonderful years together!
