So I'm back from Boston and New York which means this post will be very long and contain lots of photos. Once Jenny sends me her pictures there will be probably another post with pictures at a later date.
Anyway, Boston and New York were amazing and I can't believe I'm back in Southern California where I have to drive a car and it is always sunny. This was definitely one of the best vacations I've had.
Here are the ladies I went with. Jenny is on the left and Katie is on the right. This was in our hotel room when we were in New York City.
Obviously, this is Times Square. We got a hotel in Times Square for $100. Great deal. Usually when I'm in New York I don't do all the touristy stuff like Times Square, but for $100, why not?
Here is a random picture of the city. I'm sure you heard about the weird smell that was in Manhattan and they thought it was a terrorist attack at first. Well, we were there that day. We had gone out the night before and so we were a little tired and hung over and the entire morning when we were trying to sleep we kept hearing sirens going off. We thought there was a terrorist attack and then we found out that it was just some weird smell coming from Jersey. Argh.
This is Little Italy. Good eating. MMM
What is better than watching Anderson Cooper on TV? A GIANT photo of him in Times Square!
We also went to Ground Zero. The site itself is literally a massive hole in the ground, but the memorial with the pictures is what is really haunting. There were a couple pictures that I had to not look at because they were so upsetting. I am definitely glad I went. Even though 9/11 was a horrific event for America, being at that site made me realize how disconnected I was from the situation since I was all the way in California. It was an eye opening experience to be standing in front of it.
Hung over ladies in Manhattan freezing to death. I don't know what it is about Katie and me, but we are a drinking duo. When Katie used to live in Long Beach she was my drinking buddy and whenever we go out together we ALWAYS make friends with the bartender and get free alcohol for the night. So we went to an Irish pub in NYC and we made friends with the bartender and got free alcohol. Katie also kissed him because he was cute and Irish. Later that week I was kissed by another Irish boy. They are strange on the East Coast.
After two days in New York City we went back to Boston. Here is the state house where Katie will be working next semester.
We did some ice skating while we were in Boston. I had NEVER ice skated before in my entire life. The first 10 minutes I was holding onto the side and slowly, but surely making my way around the rink, but after a few times around I started to kick some ass and I was skating on my own. I even attempted to go backwards, but I didn't do so well. I did not fall once though. I was proud of myself. Ice skating is fun, but it definitely works the legs. We were all feeling it the next day.
We went to the JFK museum. That was really neat and this part of it was amazing. See the clouds reflected in the windows?

Last, but certainly not least, Fenway Park! My favorite thing. I cannot wait for baseball season to start. The Giants now have the hottest man in baseball as their number one pitcher and good things are bound to come. I can't wait to go to a game at Fenway this summer!!
So that was my trip to the East Coast. It was amazing and I miss it. It may have been cold, but I loved it. I can't wait to go back!

I vote for the stink coming from NJ. Definitely.
I've never made it to the JFK museum. Probably because it involved getting on the freeway, and I hate the freeways in Boston.
And how ironic that it is BUTT-FREEZING COLD here now? ARGH! What *is this weather? But I love your coat!!
(Btw, that was my comment above I erased - misspelled something and it annoyed me.)
My own soul is not really satisfied who's has missing the woman's. My personal cheap nhl jerseys picture efforts to locate the woman when though in order to provide the girl nearer.

Most people, of their time frame, will similar. MY SPOUSE AND I not anymore love her, that's specific, nevertheless precisely how WHEN I cherished the woman.

I'd say that those were lovely views both from New York and Boston and you just proved that you don't really need your own mode of transportation from one of the used cars Boston lots just to get to enjoy all of these fabulous sights!
