Boston Lately

We had lot's of friends visit and stay with us in Boston these past couple of months. I love when visitors come because then we end up playing tourists in our own city. 

We did lots of walks around Back Bay where we lived...

Aren't these just the most charming streets?

We also did a few trips to Honey Pot Hill Orchards to pick apples (my favorite part is always the apple cider donuts)...

Vermont

Fall is the best season in New England because of all the pretty colors! Dallin and I heard that Vermont is one of the best places to see the Fall colors so we took a weekend trip up in mid-October. 

First, we stopped at Cold Hollow Cider Mill to get hot apple cider donuts and apple cider. They were delicious!

Then we headed to Stowe to take a Gondola ride to the top of a mountain at Stowe Mountain Resort. The views were beautiful from the top and it was a great way to see all of the colorful trees.

Palace of Versailles & Palais Garnier

I visited the Palace of Versailles one time before when I was on a study abroad in college, and so I was very excited to come back again with my family. It is absolutely gorgeous and one of my favorite places. 

I love the room with all of the chandeliers and paintings on the ceiling - it's amazing.

Olivia looks like she liked it as well :)

On the night we went, they did a special event in the gardens: there were bubble machines, classical music playing, water shows at each fountain, a fire show on the lawn, and to end the night, an amazing firework show! I loved it. I only wish we got married here, so dreamy :)

We loved playing with Olivia in the bubbles!
