All the cool people were in Boston this weekend, where were you?!

Alison · Nov 5, 2006

Okay, since I'm home first I guess I get to kick of this thread....the key players in this meetup were myself, Corry (Core_17), Joe (ClarinetJWD) and Sky (Unimaxium)....and introducing Chris (Pigeon Chaser). It was cold, we got lost, we had fun. That should sum it up

1. Chris (my oldest son) waiting for the train to Boston

2. On the train, eating a candy bar bought with money from the grandparents

3. Are we there yet? No Chris, this is only the 2nd stop :lol:

4. Ticket to ride

5. Gravesite of Paul Revere

6. Corry, Joe & Sky

7. A little story....Chris was running around saying "I'm a bird, I'm a bird" and I said, "Hey Chris, birds don't talk!" And this was the look I got :mrgreen:

8. How many chimpers can you count?

9. Chris and the pigeons/seagulls. Oh my. All he wanted to do was chase them...I'm sure the others captured this as well...

10. Two men, a boy and a tripod

10a. In black & white

11. Is this a mugging in process? Nope, just Corry and Joe doing....I'm not sure :lol:

12. City Hall

13. What?! Geez Mom.

14. View of the city from inside part of the Holocaust memorial

15. Bricks outside...um...somewhere

16. One in every crowd :roll:

17. Joe laughing at Chris

18. Chris laughing at Joe

19. No explanation needed

20. Marketplace lights

22. More lights

23. Looking up

24. Pretty brickwork

25. For the Darksiders

26. Legal Sea Food.

27. Apartments

28. What's a TPF meetup without getting lost?

29. The map was good, lack of street signs in Boston was bad

30. More pigeon chasing....and this glove is now missing :lol:

31. A very happy boy

32. Only in Boston do you wear a winter hat and eat ice cream :mrgreen:

33. The "I don't want to go home" pout

34. MMMMMMMMM

35. A little something for Mom to help make it the 2 hours home

Alison these are great photos. I really enjoyed them. Looks like you guys (and girls) had a great time!!!!

Alison, great work and very interesting commentary. It very much reminds me of our trip to Boston last year and how much we want to go back. Getting lost sounds very familiar. We had dinner in the Quincey Market area, Green Dragon, if I remember right. Then we walked across a hugh open street area under construction and into the area where the Paul Revere house is. Great architecture and neighbourhood to walk around. We were lucky as we had a local showing us around at that point.

Looking forward to seeing more from everyone.

Yippieh: the Boston Meet-Up thread has begun ... aaaaaand TPF has a new member and the world a new - pigeon chasing - photographer. Budding still but already very promising.

So who wrote the story, is it all our little Pigeon Chaser's own words here!?

Whatever, these are his very own photos and he is GOOD.

All the pics are good.
But it looks COLD ... brrr!
