FIRE




So what did I do yesterday...well I watched a fire. This is a picture of the house across the street from my parent circle. Yes...the fire was that close. I have never seen a fire move so fast up the mountain as a gust of wind blew. There where ashes all over but I couldn't help but watch and wonder...is my childhood home going to burn down??? We took some pictures and I will get those up when i am back in town. It was a crazy day...as my family and I thought about what things we would pack and take with us if we had to leave. We also had our dog and cats close by in case so we wouldn't have to find them. Luckily no houses burned and it is sad to see the beautiful mountain all black. Thanks to all the fireman out there that saved the homes in Draper!

Boston!?!?





So to make a long story short...JFK airpot is a mess so we ended up staying in NY another day and ended up in Boston on our way home. We had a 5 hour layover so we grabed the Silverline (there bus/subway) and headed in the city of Beantown. We followed the freedom trail and saw as much as we could while there. I didn't get to see everything so I guess I will have to go back. Boston is a beautiful and clean city and also very quiet compaired to New York.

A Taste of the Big Apple






I haven't had time to post about my trip but here are some pictures to give you a little taste of all the fun we had! The first picture is of Reghan and I in Madison Square Park. The second is a picture taken from our row-boat in Central Park (I highly recomend doing this if your there) and the third is a picture of the Brooklyn Bridge right before we went under it. Who knew it had a waterfall under it?
