Goodbye Boston

After living in Boston for four long years, it was finally time to say goodbye. We have some good memories of this area-its where moved as newlyweds, where we celebrated the Red Sox World Series, where our baby was born, and where Jonathan became a dentist.

But, we were more than ready to spread our wings and leave. We will miss our dear friends in the Revere 2nd Ward, eating out at Kelly's, and sitting along the Charles on the 4th of July.


BUT

Here is what we won't miss:


The crusty Boston attitude: if you are friendly to a stranger they automatically think you want something or you are from out of town. I would be friendly just to make the locals suspicious.

Endless frigid winters: The beaches are beautiful, but 63 degree water is considered warm.

Driving: Getting honked at the second the light turns green, attempting to swerve around a landmine of potholes on toll roads, and getting flipped the bird and cut off at the same time for simply driving down the street.

Big Liberal Government: "Taxacheusettes" is far from what historic Boston used to represent.

Cost of Living: A tiny city apartment, but at a hefty price. The houses are old and crowded with teeny yards.


Jonathan and I gave a hoot and a holler when we paid Mass Pike Tolls for the last time. Boston will always hold a place in our hearts, but it felt so good to move on!


P.S. Again, we miss our Boston friends. We love you guys!
