For those of you who have listened to me complain, I had had the same Verizon cell phone for almost 2 and 1/2 years. Far too long. Since I believe that AT&T and the iPhone are the roots of most things evil, I refused to switch my service (Verizon has service in Alaska, but you cannot activate a phone here). I had no choice but to wait until I got to the lower 48 to get a new phone. Therefore, I made it my mission to run into the first Verizon store I saw. And I did.

Boston
This past week, I was lucky enough to visit Boston. My elementary school sent 10 teachers there for a conference at MIT called "Learning and the Brain". It was all about how neuroscience affects the way students learn and how we need to understand neuroscience in order to understand the art of teaching and vice-versa. It was a great professional experience, but the REAL fun was getting to see Boston. I finally got to see what I think of as the history capitol of the U.S. (for free!). We walked the Freedom Trail, did a lot of shopping, visited MIT and Harvard, and did a lot of good eating.
The Old State House at night. The Declaration of Independence was first read from THAT balcony and the Boston Massacre occurred on the street below.
Boston Common-so many people were walking through on their way to work or school. I wish I could do that everyday!


Me in front of the Old State House. Quite near the spot where the Boston Massacre happened. Shiver-inducing.

How fun! I've always wanted to go to Boston. Now looking at your pictures, I feel like I have. :)
ReplyDeleteSweet Kristin! Now add this to your resume while it's still fresh and hopefully you'll have a certificate to frame for your "I Love Me" wall too.
