Special Edition: Boston

I had a few days in Boston and did a bit of this and that. It is strange for me to think that my first visit to this city was less than a year ago; now I feel as if I have a handle on the city and know my way around.

Stephen took me to this really cool dim sum place inside an old opera house. It was definitely authentic and I was glad that he was experienced to guide me through it!

Stephen is the best host. We went from maybe seeing eachother for drinks once a year when he was visiting OKC to getting to see and talk to him regularly this summer.



I drove to the outskirts of the city to visit the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum. I checked out the William Clinton Presidential Library and Museum in Little Rock last year on my way home from North Carolina, so I thought this would be a good inclusion for my trip, especially since I had access to my car to get here. The libraries definitely had different feels as the presidents served in different times, but I was glad to visit this place of so much history and change. 

 

A friend from high school, Maddie is now attending Harvard Law. The first time I met Maddie I was a senior and she was a sophomore at McGuinness. I remember she knew who I was and I thought that was pretty cool, so I set out to find out who she was. Little did I know that she would soon make a name for herself. Personable, intelligent, athletic, and beautiful, Maddie is a rockstar. She took over the reigns when I left McGuinness, attended TCU with a great scholarship, became student body president there and prompted a lot of change. Now Maddie is in a new city and reading away to do good for the rest of her life. 6 years ago I said I could not wait to see what Maddie would do, but I don't think I ever thought this! As we had dinner on another threshold I again thought "wow, I cannot wait to see what this girl does for our world".
