On Friday morning, we woke up early and hopped on a plane to Boston with the Blalocks. This was Grayson's first plane ride! It was also my first time to Boston. Chad, Kevin and Brooke had all been before.
It was a quick and easy trip up to Boston. I loved the view as we flew in.
Leigh had collected all sorts of baby stuff for us so we didn't have to bring any baby gear. It was awesome! She got carseats, strollers, and places for Grayson and Bennett to sleep. It was so good to see them when they picked us up at the airport... it had been a couple of years! We loved spending time with their family, seeing Boston and learning some of the in's and out's of church planting.
We spent the day in the city on Saturday.
Our crew in front of the Old State House at the site of the 1770 Boston Massacre. On July 18, 1776 people gathered in the street to hear the Declaration of Independence read (first public reading) from the balcony.

Owen pulled his hat down and took a nap. hilarious.
North End
We visited Mike's Pastry (in the North End) twice for cannolis.
Supermom! Leigh pushed Owen while he napped and carried almost-5-year-old Emet on her back in the Ergo!

Chasteens- we are so thankful for your hospitality (they even gave up their bedrooms to us and they slept in the living room)! We loved, loved, loved spending time with your family!
It was awesome to visit Boston and look forward to going again someday!
