Welcome to Boston

After being here in Boston for 8 weeks, we decided it would be nice to keep everyone back home and around up to date on what's happening in our world. It's been a great first few weeks with visits from friends and family and both of us settling into our new home. Here is a whirl-wind tour of our first few adventures.

Moving Day! Dave was very gracious after moving two 20' trucks of a persons house on Saturday to help us move on Sunday, then drive to Boston and help us unpack on Monday (we probably should have mentioned that we live on the third floor of an old victorian house before hand). Here we are on a post-move tour of the city at a stop on the Freedom Trail.

Our first visitors to our apartment after the move were Katie's mom and dad. It was a fun few days with a dinner in the North End (aka Little Italy), a tour along the Freedom Trail, a trip on the historical swan boats and of course a stop at the local cemetary - Mount Auburn Cemetary.

OK, so this blogging thing takes longer than expected. Further posts to come!
