First Detour - Boston

If you've never gotten a chance to take a trip with your best buds...do it.  There is nothing like staring adventure in the face with a friend.  Mix in a little immaturity and you will feel a spark again.  The spark that got forgotten somewhere along the road to responsibility and maturity. That darn road that tells you it's time to act your age, talk a certain way, go certain places, get involved, and put on a happy face while doing it. The road of adulthood.

So, I took a detour off this blah road and threw my responsible hat out the window for a few days.  First, my friend Natalie and I went to visit our friend Jenae in Boston.  Okay, so we knitted on the plane and if that doesn't say "adult, verging on old lady" nothing does, but we did giggle most of the way so that makes up for it.

Reconnecting

Here's Jenae and her family in the hats we knitted them...aren't they an adorable family??



Bieber Fever

Nat and I slept in the girl's room....the one with the Justin Bieber poster hanging on the wall.  FYI - I look like I'm kissing Jenae but it's supposed to be the Justin poster...


Together Again at Last!

We braved the subway together for a shopping outing




A Good Find

Jenae had this fabulous jacket from H&M that Nat and I raved about. And, what do you know? When we went shopping that day it was 1/2 price, so we got one too! Our style is very original...




A World Away

We walked around the Harvard campus and I'm pretty sure this is as close as we are ever going to get to setting foot inside the library there.


 A Must Have
Had some amazing New England Clam Chowder!



Beautiful Boston 

This is Jenae's view!


You know those easy friends? The ones you haven't seen for a while but you can just pick up where you left off with?  Well, that's Jenae.  Within the first few hours of getting there we had all laughed, cried, and just felt blessed to be friends and still be a part of each others lives.

So, to my faraway friend, you are loved and you are missed!  Thanks for being such an easy friend.

it does not say 'verging on old lady' or else I'm QUITTING! it says 'edgy and cool', at least that's what i'm going with. the hats look FANTASTIC! and so does Nat's headwrap/band. Was that the good yarn?????

thanks for posting the pictures. You were exactly what Herb and Jenae and the family needed. So glad you went out there. Friendships like this are to be treasured. my best bud and I have not lived close to each other in 30 yrs, but we have stayed connected, like you said, you just pick up where you left off.
