As soon as I got home from NY last November, I turned around and left for Boston, to visit the Princess.
It was so nice to see her again. I came in on Thursday and left on Sunday. It was another short visit, but we sure packed a lot in!
It was bitterly cold in Boston, in fact it was the coldest all year and they were setting records for low temperatures in the evening. But that did not stop us from venturing out!
On Friday she took me on a tour of her school and her classroom. And as we were leaving I got to meet the teacher she is working with. The school is so convenient, just a short 15 minute walk from their apartment.
We also explored Brookline a neighborhood that is just a few blocks from them. It is full of wonderful restaurants and cute boutiques. We found a knitting store and some wonderful children's stores. It was so hard not to buy a bunch of things for the grand!!
We stopped and had lunch, and thawed out! Then we headed over to the Isabella Gardner Museum. It is a favorite of one of our good friends so we both wanted to see it. Our initial impressions was just how grand it was. The building opened up into a center garden area that was just fantastic. She had the entire thing built to house her art, antique, furniture collections.

The courtyard was just beautiful and the best part of the whole place!
The next day was Veteran's Day and was it just as cold!
We had to move out of the shade to stay warm and got a great picture with the flag!
And to compensate for the cold we did manage to find a wonderful bakery!!
Drew met us in the afternoon and we shopped at our favorite store..Marshall's! Then we met up with Jordan and had a great afternoon watching the K-State football game. We then had a wonderful Italian dinner. It was the perfect ending to a wonderful weekend!
