So, it's Sunday morning, and Brian and I have been in Boston now for a month. It is crazy how time flies. We went for a walk yesterday around the city, and I asked Brian, "Do you feel like you live here yet?" He thought about it for a minute, and said that he does. I can't say the same yet. I think it is because we don't have any of our stuff here, and I don't have a job yet. Hopefully once we get out of corp housing and into a space we can make our own, it will feel more like home.
Because I got my camera fixed, and I have put a few of my photos on my computer, I'll go ahead and write about the end of our trip.
We packed our bags in the Adirondacks, and left, bound for Boston, Massachusetts. We decided to take a more scenic route because A) it was a more scenic route, and B) we couldn't check into our corp housing until after 3pm. I am so happy we made that decision. I had no idea how beautiful of a drive it would be. We had to hop on a ferry in order to start our scenic drive, and so we boarded the Ft. Ticonderoga Ferry. It has officially been operating since 1799.
Waiting to drive onto the ferry:
While on the ferry, if we had any "CHILOREN" we would have had to watch them. But, no CHILOREN for us yet...
On our way on the ferry across Lake Champlain to Vermont, we could have bought some Vermont Maple Syrup. I am kind of regretting the fact that we didn't jump on that opportunity.
Finally, the ferry arrives in Vermont!
We drove through Vermont and passed lots of pretty farms and the Norman Rockwell Museum. We stopped for lunch at the White Cottage in Woodstock, VT.
As I write this, and go through our pics, I realize that I didn't take a single picture of New Hampshire. When we go up there this fall (I say "when" because I am going to MAKE Brian take me to see the fall foliage), I will take lots of pics.
After much anticipation and many loooooooooong days of driving, we made it to our new city.
The state welcomed us...
Our first glimpse of Boston...
I don't think I mentioned it through the blog, but I do love our GPS. While we used our maps a few times, the GPS got us here.
Part of the "Big Dig"...
We got to our corp housing, and parked the car in a 30 minute space so that we could check into the housing and ask where we could park the car for the evening. We drove from Seattle to Boston without getting the first speeding or parking ticket. We were in our new city for less than 30 minutes and got a parking ticket. Welcome to Boston!

The view from our windows...
We are currently looking for places to rent. While living downtown has its advantages (close to all of the "T" stations, lots of restaurants and shopping, walking distance to the North End - Boston's Little Italy), it is VERY tourist-y. It has been a great place to start since we have been able to walk around easily and explore our first month here. I can't wait to see where we end up next!
