This incredibly beautiful and historically rich area of the country has so much to offer. So much, in fact, that if we don't write it down we may forget to try to see it all before our time runs out!
So, in an effort to record our intentions while living here, this is our Top 20 Bucket List for the Northeast!
1. Fenway Park
Preferably, to watch the Texas Rangers play the Red Sox!
2. Apple Picking
These next couple weeks are perfect apple picking season. We have plans to go to Russell Orchards on Friday! Jimmy will be eating apple pie, apple crisp, apple scones, applesauce, etc. for the next few weeks.
3. Visit Cape Cod
Look at the beauty...JUST LOOK AT IT!
4. Walk the Freedom Trail
We've seen bits and pieces of the Freedom Trail, but we'd love to walk the entire thing from start to finish in one day!
5. Mavericks vs. Celtics in TD Garden
Again with the Texas sports teams theme, when the Mavs come to Boston we hope to be there!
6. See Plymouth Rock
Pretty self-explanatory...
7. Go whale watching
First, this picture is incredible. Second, I doubt I'll see a whale leap into the air but hey, a girl can dream!
So many lighthouses. A trip to L.L. Bean is in order!
9. Ski in Vermont
This IS going to happen in January with the Miller fam at Mount Snow! Can't wait!
10. Experience the Boston Tea Party Reenactment
We figure it'd be a once-in-a-lifetime experience of outright nerdittutde.
11. Take the Amtrak to Manhattan
This is also happening in October for a girls' trip with Jen, Linds and Cait!
12. Get Snowed In....just once.
I want one or two days of pure calm, cuddles, hot tea, Scotland Yard and Scrabble. I repeat, just one or two days...
13. Go sledding
Gordon-Conwell's campus is full of rolling hills perfect for sledding. C'mon first snow!
14. Attend a Harvard Football Game
A purely cultural experience. I WILL wear a Hogwarts-esque scarf to the game.
The Aquarium, Museum of Fine Arts (again), Museum of Science...So many museums, so little time!
16. Go to Martha's Vineyard
This needs no explanation.
17. Chop down our own Christmas Tree
I envision us tromping through the woods, finding the perfect tree, sawing it down together and pulling it through the snowy New England countryside to our home. In reality, we'll chop a tree down at a Christmas Tree Farm, strap it onto the car, lug it up a flight of stairs and hope the tree isn't crooked.
18. Go to a church over 300 years old
We can cross this guy off! Done and done.
19. The Sloan Sports Analytics Conference at MIT
This is in here PURELY for Jimmy's sake. He loves sports statistics and is incorporating this into his study of Church History. Ergo, he is excited to try to attend the conference and learn more about the study of stats. Yes, that is Mark Cuban second to the left onstage.
20. Go hiking in Dogtown when leaves change
In October, the leaves will look like this and we will go hiking at Dogtown near Gloucester. We can't wait to experience autumn the right way!
In Him,
The Millers
