We went on an airplane

We recently took a trip to the east coast. Specifically Boston and Connecticut. As a family we'd never all flown together and our collective total of hours airborne are fairly low. Our reasons for not regularly taking to the skies are part anxiety, part loving routine and part being homebodies. However, we knew we wanted to branch out.

So we did.

Hotel roof bar

Our room had a great view of the hotel bar which Serena and I went to for exactly one drink. The person at the entrance routinely told incoming people that there were no tables available and the whole time we were there there were empty tables. Roof top bar life is confusing.

no trash

The local trash policy.

I always love looking at graffiti and thinking about how the artist(s) got there.

Back to Boston to check out Serena's church.

edward munch... insert another destroyer lyric

I loved this Edward Munch painting. It kind of reminded me of the the album cover for Destroyer's "Trouble In Dreams" even though it actually looks quite different.

boston harbor hotel

Our accommodations for the final night.

It was a great trip. Everyone held it together really great. Upon returning we discovered that Silas had brought like 8 pounds of books in his backpack. We're still learning to how to be jetsetters.
