Boston Strong

We had a fabulous time in Boston. It is a cool old city, I like it there. It was one of those weekends where everything worked out perfect, no problems, just fun and celebrating. We were just busy enough, got to explore the city, laughed a lot, shed some tears, met some awesome people, and were lucky enough to share a super special experience with about a million other spectators and runners. It was a weekend I'll always remember. My sister finished with an awesome time breaking her previous Boston record.
