Everyone Loves a Boston Girl

Best excuse to reallyy start blogging… ever! I’m clearly having difficulties getting into this whole Boston Girl blog thing. So, even though it’s 10:30 p.m., when I saw Gwen Bell’s Best of 2009 Blog Challenge, I knew I had to jump on it. After all, this first day is so freaking easy for me. What was my best trip of 2009? Funny you should ask because I recently (as in one week ago) returned from 10 stunning days in Hawaii.

I actually took several amazing trips this year. Including a cruise to the Bahamas for my sister’s bachelorette party, a few days in NYC, an awesome work trip to Chicago, and a fun food blogging festival in San Fran. Yup, life was pretty amazing this year.

But nothing can beat Hawaii… Visiting my sister and her husband in such a breathtakingly beautiful place. Not to mention, being with my love on our first realll vacation together.

Some of my favorite moments from that trip? Because even though I’ve been trying, words really can’t describe.

And that’s not including the actual swimming with the manta rays part and the actual seeing dolphins jump out of the water over and over again part. Ahhh life was so good for those 10 days. And now I’m back in reality. Which is still really good, don’t get me wrong. But busy and a bit stressful. I don’t know when I’ll be on a vacation quite like Hawaii again. And these pictures are going to be MUCH needed to get me through.

Anyway, hello December, it’s nice to see you. 2009 has been SO good to me and I’m actually a little bit sad to see you go. Which is why this whole month of looking back and reflection is going to be oh so good. Now… let’s see how long I can last
