Capture it: Classic history

Fenway Park

While in Boston I was able to go to Fenway for a game and what a treat it was! It's a beautiful park and baseball field legend! I loved visiting and cheering for the Red Sox!

Boston glimpses

Boston was awesome!! I loved that basically everything is within walking distance. The subway is easy enough to use AND the people are so nice!

Bestie B and I hit just about everything--Beacon Hill,Back Bay, American Trail tour, a Boat/Harbor Tour, Little Italy, Boston Common and Garden, Duck Boat Tour, the Cheers bar, toured the USS Constitution and Cassin Young Ships, Sam Adams Brewery and Fenway Park for a game.

We also watched the last two Stanley Cup games with our Blackhawks winning it all!

Some of my favorite phone photos from my trip:

DC: Cherry blossoms

It was hard to find these beauties in bloom while I was there (imagine that,too cold for them...) but I was able to find a small cluster of trees in bloom with them by the Kennedy Center on my last day.

They are a gorgeous sight (when you can find them)!

DC: Kennedy Center views

My friend took us up to the rooftop terrace for views of DC,and they were stunning!

DC: the Washington Monument

I couldn't get enough of the simplicity and majesty that is the Washington Monument.

DC: Arlington National Cemetery

This was my favorite stop,so beautiful and it makes you stop and think about all the men and women who have served and worked for our Country. What a unique experience to walk through this Cemetery.

JFK, Jackie and their sons' graves.

Tomb of the Unknown, I loved learning more about this Tomb,who is resting underneath it and seeing the changing of the Guard was neat. So much honor and dedication in those Guards!

DC:the War Memorials

My friend A and I didn't visit all the Memorials,there sure are a lot! But we did enjoy walking to the Vietnam,Korean and WWII. All of these Memorials are powerful,prominent and meaningful. Being able to pay my respects and to thank and honor all the men and women who fought for our Country and made the ultimate sacrifice is something special.
