Thanksgiving 2009

We started our Thanksgiving with the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. Tyler got up at 4:30am to get us these front row seats!

My friend broke her foot so I was "Substitute Mom" to these cute girls.

Not only did we have perfect seats, we had perfect weather. 50 degrees!

I caught miss Katharine McPhee checking her phone during the parade.

Even with a broken foot my friend pulled out an amazing feast. It was a great Thanksgiving.

We decided to participate in Black Friday for the first time at Woodbury Common Premium Outlets. These are not just any outlets, it was like an outlet mall on steroids! Over 500 stores. It was another 4:30am morning but definitely worth it. We had a great time and got some great stuff!

We decided to go to the tree lighting at South Street Seaport again this year (can we call this a tradition yet?) Before the lighting we went to dinner at a great restaurant on the pier.

We have had a fabulous Thanksgiving weekend! We were so thankful to spend it with such great friends and each other.

Boston Birthday Bash

I celebrated my 24th Birthday last week!!

Tyler and I decided it was a good excuse to take a weekend away. Neither of us had been there before so we decided to go to Boston!
It was so much fun!! We spent Saturday in Cambridge, MA where Harvard University is. The campus and town was so quaint and historic. I loved the old buildings and gates (as you can see below) It was just like I'd pictured with the colorful leaves falling around us and the students wearing the same Harvard sweatshirts (seriously like 60% of everyone we saw).

My obsession of bridges continues...
The next day we spent in downtown Boston. We started in Public Garden. It was 68 degrees and sunny! The fall leaves were so beautiful. We loved the park

and Newbury St.

and Beacon Hill

and the Cheers Bar

and Acorn St.

and Faneuil Market

and Long Wharf

and ALL the cute streets in between!

This city had so much character and charm. love love love Boston!

I thought this image was a good one to sum up the feeling of this city...

World Series 2009

Tyler: "Whit, do you want to go take pictures at the Stadium tonight?"

Whitney: "That would be fun to go be in the atmosphere of the game, but I'm really tired and its freezing..."

Whitney: "Lets just go, you never know if we'll have this chance again."

**Tyler & Whitney arrive at Yankee Stadium**

Random Man: "Do you guys want tickets to the game?"

Tyler: "How much?"

Random Man: "My gift"

Whitney: "Shut up!?"

Miracle Man: "Enjoy the game"

Tyler: "Are you serious? Thanks man!"

After contemplating for 10 minutes whether they were real or if we would get in trouble for using fake tickets we went for it ... and got in!! Who knows why that guy just GAVE us tickets to the WORLD SERIES?!? But we had a BLAST!!

Lots of anticipation and great plays.....

AND THE YANKEES WON!!!
