A few weeks ago Katie and Bryant took a trip to Boston Massachusetts. We called it Katie's Eight (almost) is Great trip. Since Bryant's brother was graduating with his Doctorate, we thought it would be a perfect opportunity for them to go out there. Katie was learning about American History so it was great timing! When Bryant arrived to the airport he was a little nervous having the wheelchair and crutches but the airlines were wonderful he said. In fact, when they boarded the plane, the pilot had Katie come up and sit in the cockpit and then he gave her wings! She was in heaven!
Once in Boston the fun began. Here is a little glimpse of what they did.
I am now turning the keyboard over to Bryant to do a re-cap....
Katie on the bridge where the "shot heard round the world" was fired. The beginning of the revolutionary war.
Our lovely tour guide in Downtown Boston
The Swan boats in a park downtown

Boston Temple
Katie's cousin Charlie, I call him Charlie Bucket!
The Doctor of Economics, Tyler the most educated brother in the family! Nice job Tyler. (Tyler recently took a job as a Professor of Economics in Norway. We are going to miss them so much but are very excited for their new adventures)
Brandies is a very prestigious private school Tyler was the only graduate from his entering class. He finished one year ahead of everyone else.
Congrats to Dr. and Mrs. (with her Harvard Masters) Tyler Hull

Samuel Prescott thanks for all you did!
a very typical scene off of any Boston road. Everything is very green.
The bridge in the background was where the first shots of the revolutionary war.
Swimming at the Hotel

Thank you for Tyler and Lindsay for being such great hosts.
