Happy 10th Anniversary to us... 8 months early! We have talked about visiting New England for years where Jason was a missionary (New Hampshire Manchester Mission) and thought about making it a 10th anniversary trip. And then we found out Carter and Jen would be married in Buffalo so we combined the two. First BEAUTIFUL Buffalo, NY then on to Boston...
where these wonderful people put us up. Thanks cousins Joe and Jen!
A BIG thanks to their adorable and brilliant sons Ian and Blake who gave up their room for us. Also seen here Jen's little sister Natalie whom Rachel adored.
By the way, Rachel pretty much looked like this the entire trip:
And why not? She had mom and dad all to herself for 10 days!
Boston was amazing! And rainy.
Rockport, MA (tip of Cape Ann)
Little lobster shack where we ate...
lunch!
Loved all the clap board buildings! We ate at this little shop too in Gloucester, MA (where The Perfect Storm was set).
Portsmouth, NM
There goes the bridge! Up, up, up to make room for the tug boat.
I repeat- happy!
We went to church in Portsmouth with Nori, someone Jason taught as a missionary.
And lastly... some cute little billy goats gruff that we thought the kids would want to see as we headed to airport on our way home. They were cute. And a HUGE thank you to Grandpa and Grandma Jackson for watching the older 3 kids!

Rachel looks like the happiest girl alive. So cute!
Great pictures. It's so green there isn't it. How was the Lobster? MOm
The lobstah was delicious!!!
What a summer!! And this is only round 2!! :)
Love the Boston trip pics...what an experience to visit some of Jason's mission & meet up with someone he taught! AWESOME. I love that you got to stay with Joe & Jen--they put up the best accommodations! :) Looks like it was wonderful--love your bright yellow jacket, Joy--perfect for those grey-rainy days!
It really is cute to see how much fun Rachel was having, being with her two favorite people! I hope going home and sharing the attention won't be too much of an adjustment:-) I'm glad you got to go back and tour Jason's mission. You've already gone to Bolivia haven't you? We so LOVED getting to spend time with all of you in Buffalo, it was a very special time and so wonderful to be together for almost a week. MOM
I love the pictures of the cape! so beautiful! and Rachel is adorable!
i love all these pictures and narration. what a fun trip. and what a happy baby!!! (happy parents too.)
Can it really be 10 years already? It doesn't seem that long ago when we all made the trek to Mesa for your wedding.
Glad you guys made the trip when you could. Rachel is sure a cutie!
We've been to all those same shops in Rockport. At at the same place too! I love New England with all my heart and soul. Absolutely love it. What a fun trip.
