Our Trip to New England and Las Vegas Nov 09'

Just a few days ago we returned from a trip of a lifetime. It has always been my dream to experience New England in the fall. Daniel lived in Boston for a couple of years to go to the Berklee School of Music, so he was very excited to go back to his old stomping grounds. The plan was, stop and see as much as we could of Boston, Salem and then off to Las Vegas to have an early Thanksgiving  celebration with some of the family. I have to say we were extremely pleased with the trip.
First off, when we arrived in Boston I was taken how elegant and soulful the city was.It was a big surprise and a real pleasure. Daniel felt so comfortable that we took the "T" (Train) straight from the airport, to the theatre district where we were  staying. We didn't waste any time, we dropped all the luggage off and we were out the door, on to the exploring of (art, architecture, history, food etc.). Yes we did order New England Clam Chowder first thing.We walked and walked and then walked some more. It was amazing seeing so much history and beauty, as well as enjoying the personalities of the locals. Before the trip Daniel  reconnected with his buddy Tim from the early band days,we had an amazing dinner with him, where Daniel and he remembered all the fun and wild days in Boston. We saw all the sites from  Copley Square to NewBury Street, Boston Public Garden, Boston Commons, The Prudential Tower, Faneuil Hall, The Public Library, The Old North Church and even stopped by to see and tour Harvard. We spent sometime on a trolley tour just so we could fit everything in. we ended up using the "T" the whole time (the blue, green, red, orange lines , it's a blur..WoW!!). 
Then it was off to Salem, which I have always been interested in from all the history of the witch trails and also having such mystery and beauty of an old historic city. Tim was nice enough to drive us down with his family and of course,  it was pouring rain. It was perfect for our arrival in Salem. We had a lovely dinner on the harbor then we walked the beautiful yet a little creepy streets of Salem. It was so much fun!. At the end of the night we said our farewell's to Tim and his wonderful family, got warm and cozy at the Salem Inn, It was the perfect choice. Next day we walked the cobblestone streets and had many adventures, then took the Commuter train back to Logan airport.
Then we were off to Las Vegas to spend some real quality time with my family. I've been a little home sick-It was wonderful seeing my folks who we miss dearly, my sister Erinn with her husband John and the most beautiful little boys, Truman and the newest to join our family Conley. Adorable!! It was a real treat seeing them. I also met up with one of my dearest friends Shannan , for some much needed girl talk.

We were sad for it to come to an end and it did fly by. However we had such a wonderful time, with amazing memories.Of course we took lots of photo's as we always do, so many in fact it was so hard to choose which ones to post, Hope you enjoy!
