Day 1 {BOSTON}



    We left SLC at 11:04pm and flew to JFK  with a 1 hr lay over there. We hopped back on the plane bound for Boston. We were excited to go to Boston for a few reasons 1 is Adam’s sister Sara and her Husband Clark and our twin nieces Abby and Joy live on the MIT campus 2 being that neither Adam or I had been there before. The weather was beautiful when we arrived at 7:30am. We collected our baggage and met up with Sara who was going to show us around Boston. They have lived there 2 years now and know there way around very well. We rode the Silver line bus to the south station so that we could put our backpacks there in the package hold so that we didn’t have to carry them around all day. That was so helpful. Adam and I got breakfast at the Subway station and then we took the subway to go the Boston Commons..it’s a big park in the middle of town. We walked around and saw this sea of small American flags. They place them there every memorial day one for each Massachusetts soldier that has died from the revolutionary war to present. It was very majestic and sad at the same time to have lost so many lives in war. Abby and Joy loved the flags very much, they are getting very good at talking and have a pretty big vocabulary. We continued on to the bridge to admire the ducks they girls love wildlife. We ventured on to see the Boston Public Library. It was so beautiful..way more grand then you would expect from a library. We walked up stairs to see some paintings and statues. They girls loved the 2 big lion statues at the top of stairs the most. We left the library and headed to the food court in the mall for some lunch at Boston Chowda, Adam had a sandwich and clam chowder and I had broccoli chowder and and a grilled cheese..it was delicious. We decided to head back to Sara and Clark’s place for a quick nap before we headed to the airport to catch our next plane to Iceland. Sara and Clark live on 25th floor and their view of Boston from there is amazing!  We fell asleep quick and a hour and a half passed by very quickly. We left and headed to catch the subway back to the airport but before that we had to buy a birthday present for the girls since they will be turning 2 before we get back. We stopped to see a crazy looking building as well. We got to the airport and checked into our WOW air flight. We had a about an hour once we got through security to wait to board. We boarded at 7:15pm and took off for Reykjavik Iceland. We will arrive in Iceland at 4:05 am. We took off in the light and since we are flying north it has yet to get dark outside, it’s very strange to not have darkness when it’s midnight….  Too be continued
