B-O-S-T-O-N!
Becca and I were able to drive 13 hrs (15 hrs for her, because she came to pick me up in Columbus) to Boston. We went to see her sister Karen, who is a senior at Gordon College, approximately one hour north of the city. It was an incredible trip - safe car ride with good conversation. Karen and her friend Lisa took us into the city - which was neat since it was the weekend of the Boston Marathon. I got to check off state # 16 from my "Run USA" goal (to run in all 50 states), with a beautiful run through New England forests and by a lake. We went to Karen's church, the coast, and more. Then Becca and I were the "special guest speakers" at her friend's bridal shower - apparently the experts on marriage and all it entails. Rather interesting :) Then........we got to go see Quelly at West Point!!!! We watching him do the Lunch Formation and then ate with him. Very fun trip.

Becca by Paul Revere's grave - which is in the yard of Park Street Church. This is the church my sister attended when she lived in Boston for a semester. She met her friend Bonnie there.
