Boston Marathon!!



We had so much fun in Boston. We went to a Red Sox game. I have to say I am a fan. It was so cool to be at Fenway park. The atmosphere was amazing and so were the fans.
We also hit all the tourist attractions in Boston as well as a few Cemetery's. Doug loved it!! Not really my thing but I gave it a good effort for Doug's sake.
On Sunday morning we went to the women's olympic trials. We were able to see them 6 or 7 times at different points on the route. These women were amazing.
I loved Boston!! It is an awesome city. I think we even mastered the subway. Doug went on a little detour and got lost but he found his way. He's a pro now!!
Thanks to our mom's who watched to kids. We had a great time with the Lynn's and the Barney's too!



There were a lot of inspiring stories at the Boston Marathon. The one that touched my heart was seeing Dick and Rick Hoyt. If you don't know the father and son compete in marathons together. Dick pushes Rick in his wheelchair the whole way. It is very inspiring. Rick loves it and he raises his arms to get the crowd going. I saw them at the expo and I wanted to go say hi and get my picture taken with them but I started to cry and I couldn't. I wish I would have.








Post Marathon by the Sumner statue. This was our meeting place we had discussed all weekend long. It's kind of an inside joke.
