Boston Bucket List: Rockin' It.

We rocked our Boston Bucket List this past week and last weekend!  Last Saturday, we went to take some pictures of old graveyards...  By the way, am I weird to want to take pictures of graveyards?  Don't answer that.  They're just so old and we just don't have anything like this in Texas!

This one in Essex dates back to1680...

This one in Manchester by the Sea dates back to 1661.
This is my favorite because of the beautiful crooked trees growing all around the grave stones.
Weird that I have a favorite cemetery?  Probably.

This old church in Essex dates back to 1792, and it has a bell cast by Paul Revere.  Dang.

That night, we went to our favorite pizza place - The Riverview - in Ipswich, with the O'Briens and the Hicks and Jude and Ellie!  It is seriously one of my favorite pizza places of all time.  
Second only to Gattis! :) 

On Sunday after church, we went to the Boston Public Garden to relax, walk, people watch, and see the famous swan boats one last time.  It was a really nice day, and it was so fun to be there with Ellie!

On Friday, we went to Siam Delight (Thai food) one last time with the Hicks and the Morgans and had yellow curry and Pad Thai.  It was delightful indeed!
  Has any other North Shorite (er...or, North Shorian?) noticed the big screen TV and what plays on it?  What a weird use of a big screen TV, right?  But I always end up watching it, mesmerized.
Here are Nick and Jeff posing with the TV. :)
 
Pictures of the old Graveyards? The Riverview? Public Gardens?  Siam Delight? 

Check. Check. Check. Check.

Bam!

Told you we rocked it...  Next up, the beach, the Cow, the woods, and burritos!
