Hello Everyone! ! I hope you all are having a fabulous start to your week. I know it’s back to school time for many of you, so I would like to wish all of you best of luck. Including you mothers who have to send your child off for their first day. I must say I am dreading the day I have to send Ellie to school. I’ll totally be one of those crazy mom’s who follows the bus to the school;) Nothing wrong with that right!? Haha

Anyways, today’s post is all about the Lemon’s (my side) family vacation back East. We have some family friends that live near Boston, so we went to visit them. They were our tour guides around both Boston and New York City.

We flew into Boston and started the trip off by going to a Yankees and Red Sox Baseball Game at Fenway Park. My brother-in-law and sister are huge Red Sox fans and Kody and I are Yankees fans. It was a dream come true being able to watch both teams play. To say we had good seats would be an understatement. We sat on the third row right on the third baseline. It was amazing! We could see the sweat beating of the players foreheads and fly balls were coming our way the entire night. It was so much fun!

My sister and brother-in-law have a baby boy the same age as Ellie. The friends we were visiting were so good to us, they stayed in the hotel to babysit while we went and enjoyed the game. It was so nice and such a fun date night!

The next day we started our travels to New York City. We took a ferry to cut the drive time. That was a neat experience in itself! We arrived in a small town in New York. It was a beautiful little city with farmers markets and vineyards for miles. Our friend took us to this adorable farmer's market that is known for their world famous pies. We had a fresh peach pie and it was incredible! Ellie was a huge fan of their fresh peaches and ate the entire peach by herself! It was hilarious.

The first night in New York we went to Broadway. Kody and I are not really into theater and Broadway, so we were skeptical, however, the show blew us away! We went to the School of Rock. It was amazing! It was even better than the movie. I totally recommend seeing it. The kids that were acting were so talented. Kody and I would totally go and see it again.

The following day, we went and toured the 9/11 Memorial. It was such a neat experience. The Memorial is outstanding. I felt like they did a great job honoring those who lost their lives.

We finished up our New York trip by shopping and eating some yummy New York Styled Pizza. It was a blast shopping at all of the little shops and boutiques. I had to get a souvenir so Kody, Ellie and I stopped into Steve Madden.  I found some adorable sneakers (pictured above in camo pants outfit).

Oh and I have to brag on Ellie and her cousin Benson. They were such troopers! They slept the entire plane ride and were content the entire road trip. Tara (my sister) and I were so proud of our babies!

The only downfall of the trip was my phone was stolen. I am super bummed because I had photos of our trip on it. So sorry I don’t have more photos to show:( All of my Boston photos were on it, and we weren’t able to recover them.. So sad:(

All and all our trip was one of a lifetime. It was short but filled with lasting memories. I hope you enjoyed reading about our vacation. Have a fabulous week everyone! Good luck with school!
