our new england celebration!

on september 14th, jon and i left for new york city to board our first cruise ship ever. we traveled to halifax, nova scotia; bar harbor, maine; boston, massachusetts; newport, rhode island; and back to nyc. beautiful places and a very relaxing experience. we're not sure if it was a little too relaxing or not (is that possible?), but after attending a 14 inning yankee game (we left after the 13th!) we returned home to a cooler, more beautiful las vegas.

highlights:
1- getting off the ship in halifax after spending a day and a night rockin' and a reelin' traveling in the atlantic through a storm! (luckily we never got sea-sick)
2- hiking the coast of maine with a darling tour guide and lunching on lobster rolls
3- venturing into the heart of boston via subway, and being amazed at how clean it all felt
4- seeing a very good movie and visiting the aquarium in boston
5- hiking the coast of rhode island (any physical activity was wonderful) and admiring the "summer cottages" from their backyards
6- enjoying beautiful weather and a piece of the country we haven't explored before
7- spending eight and a half days with my sweetheart and loving EVERY minute of that!
