I Think I’ll Go To Boston

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!

  • After five and a half years fighting a remarkable battle with stage 4 breast cancer, my sweet mother comfortably passed away earlier today. Even as a nurse, I have never seen an individual demonstrate such an extraordinary determination to survive. For that, she will always be a wonderful example of strength to me and those around her. I’m grateful for the opportunity to see and talk with Mom when I did. I know she is at peace and incredibly happy to reunite with her family in Heaven. I feel strongly she is now able to meet our sweet baby boy, teach and love him before he enters this world in just a few short weeks. I’m struggling with not being able to fly out and lay her to rest but I’m overwhelmed with the compassion, support and aid of those closest to me helping in my absence. I know I will see my Mom again but until that time comes, she will be taking care of us from Heaven.

  • The past two days have emotional drained me. This angel boy must be able to sense my sadness + got in bed to cuddle with me when Dad left for work this morning; we both slept in till 10am. I’m constantly in awe with how in tune children are to the emotions of people around them... a hug for a sad friend. Random kisses for Dad after a long day. Snuggles to cheer up mom. Children are truly gifts from God #tendermercies #ktselftimer
  • Can I be honest? I reallyyy didn’t want to go to church today 🤦🏼‍♀️I woke up exhausted + achy. Ryker wouldn’t take a nap which meant church wasn’t even going to be “worth” it. But we went anyways. Why? Not because it is expected of us or we feel pressured to go but because when you are too tired to pray - that my friends is when I have found I need to pray the most. And you know what... Ryker was actually pretty great + we were able to see our sweet friend’s baby get blessed + I was able to chat with another friend I haven’t been able to in a long time. I felt the spirit + left filled to the tippy top with God’s love. #worthit #smithfamilysunday #35weekspregnant #gowingbabysmith
