a vacation in iphone photos.

we obviously have about eleventy billion "real" photos from our recent vacation, but they are locked tight on 7 of jb's memory cards.  so, it may be a couple of days/weeks/lifetimes before we get those onto a computer and into the blog.  but when i do that, i will chronicle our trip for real.  for now, here are a gazillion pictures of emme's tour through the northeast.  lots of nap pictures because she's SO cute when she's sleeping, but i promise she was awake most of the trip.

the single paragraph overview is that we flew in to boston, drove up to vermont (stowe), spent a few lovely days there, drove back down to boston and spent the rest of our trip frolicking around the big city.  we hiked, ran through a corn maze, rode a gondola up a mountain, visited the ben + jerry's factory, walked through boston's public gardens and common, saw cemeteries and the old north church, went to a red sox game, went to the aquarium, rode a tall ship, and much, much more.  emme was a champion traveler - i could not have been more proud/impressed/shocked at how easy and fun she was.  we can't wait for our next vacation....someday!

this is her new ham n cheese face when i tell her to smile for the camera.  this was around 5 a.m. before our flight out.  

snacks/dinner at a great place in concord, new hampshire.

 c'mon mama!

 ek wanted us to buy a seat on the plane home for this monkey.

 the groundhog we discovered right outside our place in vermont.

 a little chipmunk hanging on our neighbor's wood pile.

first taste of ben & jerry's. 

she had to take a seat to fully embrace the ice cream experience.

 ben & jerry factory was a dream land for kids.

 shoes off in the stream on a hike - she ended up completely soaked on this adventure.  

 brought her into a toy store where she promptly grabbed a basket and started filling it with gear.  hilarious.  

 first day in boston with daddy.

 make way for ducklings!

 breakfast in the promenade before our aquarium visit.

 crashed on the floor on a mat (she refused to stay in the pack n play).

 in front of our boston hotel.

 people on the street paused to laugh at this position.  

 a stop in franklin square park after breakfast at flour.

 time to head home...if only she would wake up.  

 antics with daddy at logan airport.  notice the matching red sox caps.
