boston – Page 3 – See Jane Blog

hello. i am starting this week late due to our windy visitor, sandy. we made all the proper preparations for her visit – and right on queue sunday evening i received a text from our local police station saying, school has been cancelled monday due to the hurricane… instantly a school night became a three-day weekend…

so… we put on our rain gear and went to a late movie!

{we went to see chasing mavericks – have you seen it???}

it just so happens husband was on his way home from the philippines and scheduled to land in Boston today. the airport was closed so he chose to be re-routed to Salt Lake City and is working from his offices there till we hope he can come home on Wednesday for Halloween.

in August, we spent one of our sunday afternoons walking through the Boston public garden. we also road the swan boats, and while on our boat ride we spotted friends from our suburb on the shore. we felt like such locals crossing paths with friends while in the city.

family outings can be adventurous and stimulating, but more often than not, they are much more low-key; they are always though, about sharing an experience. i like it the most when those experiences are completely new to all of us.

since we moved here i have wanted to take our bikes into the city to ride along the charles river bike path. it winds along the charles river for a fourteen mile loop.

there are good reasons to stop and rest all along the path – cool playgrounds, cafes, festivals, ponds, and of course to view the river! in august, we made this happen, and other than the fact i *flew over my handle bars and crashed at one point, i can’t wait to do it again.

*don’t ride too close to the bike in front of you.

this summer we were all about celebrating the long-standing-summer traditions we’ve always cherished,
while also reminding ourselves to start a few of our own new ones here in mass.

so. we went hunting for our favorite beach in massachusetts. i tried to find out exactly how many beaches there are in MA, and didn’t have any luck. so, let me tell you – there are a lot. and we’ve made it to five. however, we did visit those five more than once each. sometimes we’d try a new one, and like it so much we’d have to visit it a few times before choosing another new one. my friend told me that there are so many lovely beaches in the california area.

yesterday we spent the morning getting sela & kJ’s passports renewed in the north end – we need them sooner than we realized in case we head up to canada on our future northwest trip… this little outing led us to hang-out in the north end for the morning, and afternoon. then we took the kids home, and husband and i headed back in to the north end for dinner! we like it there, and look forward to spending more time there in the future!

have you been?

it’s more or less little italy with lots of great food – pasta, gelato, pastries… in a charming area of the city. what’s not to like, right?!?

one year ago today July 8th, 2011 – our life in Boston began! It’s crazy how fast the time has passed. we get asked all the time if we are liking it here – and yes. we are definitely liking our life in Boston. however, i will say – i think husband, the kids and I could live anywhere and enjoy our experiences. really. it’s in our blood/lifestyle to be optimistic.

First and foremost, can I say I LOVE google maps on my iPhone and i have no idea how we all survived pre-GPS-technology. It has saved me this year.

With that said, here are 10 things we love {and don’t love} about living in Boston:
