~ Bits of Boston ~

by Tina~in_ut

The view from our room at sunset. It was gorgeous~



Hubby and I went to the JFK Library~
Just walkin' along and there, on top of a building, was a house, with trees included~
Mecca for the Christian Science Church! I thought it was a Scientology church, but they are quick to tell you otherwise. A nice lady showed us around inside. It was a little creepy~


 Harvard Hall~ I spent an afternoon at Harvard....snuck into this building to find a bathroom. It's a beautiful campus, but I'm glad my kids don't want to go here....as if they'd get in~ lol~


I took this because it reminded me of the motel Michael told me to stay at! I laughed the whole time I was taking this picture.
I thought this was interesting. We were walking around the North End and came upon this. Not really sure what it is. There were several places with a lot of religious stuff.


Now this place was disgusting. I LOVED it!!! If you google the word cannoli, Mike's Pastry comes up. You can even order these puppies online!!! Everything in his pastry shop looked SO good, but he's best known for his cannoli. Hanover St in the North End.....best food and sweets EVER!~

  1. Great pics of Boston!! And damn u for telling me I can order those cannoli's online. I still have a cake hangover from yesterday. We celebrated my MIL, SIL & her step-daughter's b'days. 3 cakes....strawberry shortcake, lemon poppyseed with raspberry, and a chocolate ganache. OY!!

  2. TINA: I really like the pics of your trip to Boston..I'm glad you had a good time. Not a fan of ricotta cheese so the cannoli don't tempt me..unless they were filled with mascarpone or custard..then that's a whole different story.. ;D

    JODI: Yummmmmmy!! :D

    Good Morning everyone..I hope y'all have a nice day!!

  6. Tina Good morning, Bright Eyes. Thanks for the Boston photos. My daughter and I were only able to spend one day there during our cruise from NY to Quebec. She'd been to Boston before but I hadn't and I would love to go back and spend more time. We did walk around Haaaaavaaaad, too.

  7. Good Mornig Tina, Jodi and Zona.

    Happy Birthday Lynn. I hope you have a great day.

    Tina - Your pictures of Boston are fantastic. I have never been there but I can see it in my mind's eye now.

    You have a very handsome husband. You may tell him I told you that.

    Jodi - It is so nice to see you in the nest. You must have been very busy lately. Those cakes sound delicious.

    Zona - I agree, filled with custard and I wouldn't be able to resist them. I am eager to hear about your weekend.

    We had a lovely weekend. The sun shone and and the blossoms made the air fragrant. We walked every day. We must be quite a sight because Tango tires easily with her heart conditon. After about a half hour we put her in the stroller basket and and she sits there so proudly. Then Tia gets jealous and wants to sit at my feet. Of course she always gets her way even though she could easily walk the full hour. So there we are going for our daily walk and 3 out of 4 are riding the scooter. People look out the windows at us and smile but I think they are secretly laughing.
