Sunny Saturday

This particular saturday we were debating what to do with our summer's day. Jeff had a few things he needed to pick up from his office so we decided to drive downtown, and then spend a little time in the city. We found a prime parking spot right in front of his office that already had money in the meter, and we were able to have a lazy afternoon strolling through town à pied. We walked from the financial district along the greenway into the heart of the city. Everyone was outside enjoying the summer heat. We passed families having picnics on grassy knolls, book readers nestled into quiet corners of the park, and kids running through the city splash pads. There were even some nice water misters along our pathway that cooled us off from our toasty promenade.

Such a beautiful city. How lucky we are to live here.

Water misters along the Greenway

Boston's really got the whole city/park balance nailed.

We strolled right into the Greenway Open Market where vendors were selling everything from scentsy soap bars and dog-ware to hand crafted dish towels and t-shirts.

The best part of our little jaunt was stopping to watch the kids playing on the splash pad. So fun on a hot summer day! It made me wish we had nieces or nephews closer who we could take here.

Caught unaware and asking, "are you taking a picture?"

We came across a vendor that was selling some neat Boston artwork and picked out a few of our favorite prints. I've been wanting to spruce up some of the bare walls in our apartment and these seemed just the thing!

Showing some Boston love in the Manning home.

Added a little flavor to the room.
