Our time in Boston was coming to a close. Sunday morning dawned and we knew that our flight home to our normal life and our wonderful children wasn't until the afternoon so we decided to take in at least a sacrament meeting.
The closest family ward was a bit of a walk so we got ready for church and headed out. We were stalled a bit when we found ourselves in the middle of a 10K. I was really inspired by all the runners in Boston, I guess they take their marathon pretty seriously!
Our route took us along the Charles River and across the Longfellow Bridge. I was really happy about that because it was a beautiful walk AND we hadn't gotten any pictures of this yet.
This bridge is often called the "salt and pepper bridge" for these tower things. We rode under this bridge during our "Duck Tour" at the beginning of the week.
And there is a lovely park along the banks of this river which provided some nice shade on the warm morning.
We made it to church in good time and while we were looking for an English Speaking Family Ward, we saw a Spanish speaking couple and a full-time elder entering the church the same time as us and we followed them to their own meeting. We never saw any other cars and don't even know if an English ward was meeting there but it was fine. Actually kind of nice and sentimental since Stephen and I met while serving in a Spanish Speaking branch. I understood everything and felt very at home.
On our walk back to Joey's place we passed by the crew starting to set up the famous stage used for the Boston Pop's Orchestra's performance on the 4th of July. That was cool!
Our trip to the airport and back home was uneventful--our children were probably as happy to see us as we were to see them. They'd had a great time while we were gone and a future post will have some pictures to prove it.
I am so grateful that Stephen and I got to have this chance to get away and enjoy some time together, we really are a great match and I'm so glad I get to take this journey with him!
