This weekend we had a crazy fun & super fast trip to Boston! Cameron was asked to present at a dental conference; neither of us had ever been to Boston, so when he suggested I hop on a plane & tag along I was already packing!

When we were first married, we made a pack to visit a new place each year. It started out as visiting a new country but after we got pregnant with Ryker we revised the deal to new place or new adventure.  For 2016 we went to several new places: Cameron went to Canada with his Dad & we both went to Waco, TX + now Boston!

When I found out that we would be staying just a mile from Boston Ballet I quickly did some research and called to see if I could take a class. Ohh to dance everyday in that beautiful studio! Taking class definitely did my soul some good & got my creative juices flowing for my classes back here in phx || get ready girlies (whom I kidding they don’t read this haha)

Friday, Cam was at the conference all day so I toured the city with his mom! Then Cameron & I wandered around Saturday before our evening flight home.

where we stayed + what we did + where we ate:

|Friday|

Stayed at The Eliot Hotel which upon walking in made me feel like I had stepped back in time. From the single gold room key to their fresh melt in your mouth chocolate chocolate chip cookies; I felt like I was on a second honeymoon. It was simple and elegant and just plain classy. We will definitely be recommending them to all our friends

Breakfast at Sonsie || we heard brunch is really great here but they weren’t serving it Friday. Food was okay but not our favorite

Class at Boston Ballet & she toured MIT

Walked through Boston Public Garden || dreamy

Trolley tour to Beacon Hill for shopping || Stopped in Tatte for a quick snack; I loved their nutella sandwich cookies YUM!

Barking Crab for lunch || AMAZING food & service! We had clam chowder, corn fritters, & crab dip. Best recommendation from my sister, thanks Jen!

Cocktail hour & dinner with the conference || I was so excited because I got to catch up with one of Cam’s classmates from school that I loved!

Holiday Pops at Symphony Hall || seriously their rendition of ‘The 12 days of Christmas’ is on repeat over here

|Saturday|

Mike’s Pastry on the North End for cannoli || yes, a thousand times yes (cash only)

Brunch at Mike & Patty’s || this was recommended to us by some friends & it was so worth the wait. Kind of comes at you from nowhere because it’s located in the middle of a neighborhood & it’s so small we had to squeeze in to order. They made everyone wait outside because it was so busy but like I said, delicious! We found a Starbucks for some hot chocolate & apple spice so we could eat our food inside because it was FREEZING!

Walked the Freedom Trail || we were not use to the cold at all & kept ducking in boutiques to ‘look around’ but mainly to keep warm

Shopped Newberry Street then made our way back to our hotel & grabbed a car to the airport

We stopped at Legal Seafood for dinner, then straight home to snuggle Ryker!

It was a great trip – next time in the summer 😉xoxo pinkp.s. I tried to sneak a picture of our doorman because he was the cutest & so friendly!

  • M is for Monday + Mini Apple Pies 🥧💜 It’s also Smith’s #birthdayweek which means I get to spoil him with every single Pinterest dessert I’ve been drooling over! 🤤
  • 9 months in vs. 9 months out || at first glance you see sweet Riggins living outside my body instead of inside. I have shorter hair + a smaller body. Also, Ryker was ticked at me for making him leave primary... so there’s that😆 Here’s the thing: the real changes during these past 9 months can’t be measured purely against physical transformation. I feel like I’ve found my rhythm in motherhood + I’m discovering ways to love each day I wake up to, even the hard poop covered tantrum ones. I have struggles but I see myself becoming more fine tuned - growing more patient, strong, + kind. Sharing kindness with myself too. I take time to care for my body + my soul; guilt free. I work to fill myself up so that I can overflow my strength + happiness to my family by building a solid foundation of gratitude. Yes, motherhood has changed my body but it’s changing my soul too ♡ #9monthsin9monthsout #9monthsold #smithfamilysunday #godisgood
