Our First Apartment and an Unhappy Bride


Recently Steve and I took the kids into Boston while Hannah was in Cambridge dancing. We walked around and showed them our first apartment in Beacon Hill. #98 Myrtle Street.


We loved living here. We talk about when we're OLD we want to retire here. We'll go to the Symphony and walk along the Charles and go out to dinner all the time. We'll take the grandkids to the museums. Read the paper all day on Sundays and talk about how much we miss the kids. Anyway, it was the greatest little apartment.

We got engaged here. It used to be the Ritz Carlton now it's the Taj Boston. Why? Anyway, I'll save our engagement story for another post. It's a good one.


We walked down Newbury Street. Great people watching.


There were wedding photos being taken on the Common.


She wasn't a very  happy looking bride.




I love how no one abides by the "Please stay off the Grass" signs.

See? She doesn't look very happy. I hope she is now.

  2. I think it's so much fun to observe people, too. My mother told me of a similar experience she had; they saw a bride who looked so unhappy getting her pictures getting taken, it was uncomfortable. Let's just hope she was camera shy....I love the way you capture life, Pam. You have an eye for the interesting!
