This One Time I Lived the Dream/Boston in the Fall

Think of it: movies, novels, TV...the 20 something year olds all do fun, cool things. Example: travel. And I actually did that.

Does that make me cool?

I went to Boston. Ok, yeah, that was like three weeks ago, but...yeah. 20 somethings also procrastinate. Yolo or . . . something.

Anyways.

I thought I'd share some pictures from my Boston adventure! 


Edgar Allen Poe. This statue was actually brand new when I was there. And I love Poe. I once wrote a very Poeish story. This statue was so neat. Poe is briskly walking to who-knows-where and his trunk is falling open. The raven is escaping, a heart is tumbling out, and sheets and sheets of his stories are slipping away. I was very impressed with this statue. 


We visited the Breakers mansion in Rhode Island. It was HUGE and so cool. It made me want to watch Downton. It was right on the ocean and had an amazing view. I really liked the kitchen because it was complete with a pastry pantry, a normal pantry, and a whole wall of stoves. (I've worked with food for too long.)


Allie and I walked around Mt Auburn cemetery for two hours the Sunday I was there. It had the prettiest fall leaves and we saw a heron up close. It is a beautiful place. 

We obviously wandered the city, we went to a Bastille concert, ate great food, we walked along the Hudson, and had a grand time. I love Boston. And Allie. She's great. 

I have successfully been to Boston in the Fall.
