Breast Cancer Walk

Amy, Kim and Susan

James and I went to pick up the ladies from the South Boston, after their walk was complete. We were also there for the closing ceremonies, which was incredibly moving. I don't know how many times I was brought to tears. We were very proud of the ladies for completing their over 60 mile walk! It was very difficult for them, especially Susan, to walk in the heat (Susan and James are expecting their first baby). It really took a lot of work and dedication on their parts! Boston, alone, raised $5 million!!!!

Boys Day Out

Rowdy and James were planning on going to the Red Sox game while we went sight seeing. They waited in line for hours, but of course when they got to the front, the only tickets available were in the hundreds(which I think is just crazy!!!), so they went to Boston Beer Works instead for a pitcher of ice cold blueberries with a splash of beer!

Visitors

Hmmm....too much blueberry beer perhaps?!

I think James and Susan are ready for some lobster!

Susan, Amy and Kim planned their 3 Day Breast Cancer Walk in Boston this year, so they could see us as well. James wasn't walking, but came along just to hang out. Kim(Susan's best friend) and Amy(Susan's sister) flew in from Denver and James and Susan from Orlando, all on Aug 1. The next day, we walked the city, saw some sights and then met up with the boys to have a lobster dinner.
I'd have to say, it was the hottest few days in Boston since we've lived here and the poor ladies had to walk in it!!!

Vermont

On our way back from Montreal, we stopped at the Ben & Jerry's Factory, in Vermont, for some ice cream.

I just LOVED Montreal! It was a such a fun city and VERY different from Toronto. French is their language, but most people spoke English as well, so it made it a little easier to get around. We stayed in the Old Town, close to the water, where they had a ton of art galleries, shops, restaurants, bars, you name it! I definitely want to go back before we leave New England.

More Toronto

Toronto was a beautiful city! It was very clean and crime free. We spent a couple days there before going to Montreal, Quebec.
