Boston "Love"

Our time in Boston was short ~ but ohhhhh so sweet! It meant everything to get to visit Mom & Dad DuRoss while they're there for 5 weeks during her radiation treatments. We were able to experience their life from mom's radiation appointment and the huge machine, to the crazy beach tides that go out almost 1/2 mile, to where their laundry room is, to where they make chicken salad at night, to just how uncomfortable their couches are (seriously, feel sorry for them people), to city tours that should have thrown me into labor!!! Here are some photos to highlight our time with them.
Charles Street has fun shops, yummy restaurants and mainly wasn't too far for me (big and preggers to walk to)!

George Washington statue at the most beautiful park right in the city. It made us keep asking ~ why doesn't Cleveland look like this???

I begrudgingly place this photo in here (but Audzzz did ask to see my belly ~ so here ya go)!!

Can't ya just feel the love between them ~ this is a pond in the middle of the beautiful park I was mentioning above.

The architecture is so beautiful in Boston ~ it was easy to love the city for its old world charm and yet hate the city for keeping Mom and Dad away from us.



Derek couldn't leave without getting a shot of the historic (or so I am told) Fenway Park.

I couldn't leave without getting a shot of 7-Eleven ~ the store I grew up with as a child in PA.





Photos from our relaxing day at Boston's finest beach! If you closed your eyes and imagined large waves hitting the beach ~ you could almost believe we were in North Carolina on summer vacation.


I think the best part of the trip was just "being" with Mom and Dad and realizing that no matter where they are ~ we are right there with them in our hearts! We miss you like crazy already and are counting down the days until you return HOME to us.
