We started out in Boston where the weather was BEAUTIFUL! It was unseasonably warm and sunny. We went to Newberry Street for some delicious Upper Crust Pizza the first night. The next day while Derek was at schools, I walked around Harvard Square and had lunch with my good friend Ashley at a yummy cafe. Derek and I then raced to the bus station and literally ran on board and were the last ones on (long story short, we were told we HAD to get Mike's Pastries in the most confusing part of town).

The bus took us to downtown NYC where my parents met up with us. We enjoyed a delicious Italian dinner and walked to Rockefeller to see the lights and beautiful window displays.

The next day Derek stayed at the hotel to work on some things while my parents and I braved the cold, heavy rain. We headed to Union Square to check out the Christmas market, then over to my favorite ABC Carpet & Home. It is 6 floors of BEAUTIFUL home furnishings. If you are ever in the city, you must go see it! They even had a great Santa Clause with a long line of kids waiting. We then headed over to Soho and ate a a charming, delicious cafe called Prince St. Cafe. We hung out there for a while to dry off then decided to call it quits. We picked up Derek and drove down to DC in the first snowstorm of the season.

DC was beautiful all blanketed in snow, freezing cold, but beautiful. It was fun to enjoy that weather for a few days and really kick of the Christmas season. Sunday we went to church (love going to my home ward) and hung out at home. Monday we ventured to Georgetown for lunch and shopping.

That night Derek and I went out on a little date to take advantage of no kid. We definitely missed Jack and were ready and excited to see him when we got home. Thanks Bill and Nina for watching him!

Sounds like such a fun trip. I laughed out loud when I saw you guys posing in front of the Rhino, good times, haha. Jack looks so cute in that last picture! I am sure he missed you guys like crazy!
Cool trip! My goal is to get to NY next Fall--I've never been there in the fall. Great pics--I was jealous.
Oh, so much fun! I want to go back East so badly, perhaps one of these days. Love Jack with his little tie, so handsome! Let's hang out soon...maybe this weekend?!
SO SO jealous!! I am dying for an East Coast trip. My little sister is getting married in August so it looks like we will be missing out on the winter fun, but definitely getting in on the humidity...awesome!!
We had so much fun with you we wanted to lock you up and keep you (but not without Jack!).
So fun! Yeah this is def on my list of trips to take! Your house looks beautiful all covered in snow! And with the deer that rome around-so cool. I am glad you had a good time with your parents and that you were able to get away without out Jack. You need that every once in a while. I think it is very healthy. And I love your Rockette pose in front of Radio City!
Awesome- is Derek raising the roof in the pic in front of the Rhino?!!
I can't wait to see more pictures of your trip!
I love the one at the end of Jack, such a little man!
What a fun trip!! I was super jealous about NYC (and of course maryland)... what I would give to go visit the city this time of year. All the lights and stores ready for the holidays. Best time to be there I think. Glad you guys had such a great time!
