After a big week in Chicago for CHA Summer, I really enjoyed my holiday with good friends in Boston and New York before returning home last Sunday. I was so lucky to visit some really great places I would love to share with you.
This a cute little house in the town of Chatham, such a beautiful little town, so historical. The whole town was full of colour with all the flowers in bloom. The main street was lined with interesting shops, and restaurants, we spent hours just wandering through.
After checking the water for Great white sharks that had been reported in the area, we headed home. On Monday we made our way into the city of Boston to check out the sights, so much to see so little time, and did I mention the weather was extremely hot!
This is the sight of the Boston Massacre, such a contrast of old and new buildings all mixed together. I had heard about the Boston fried dough and thought it may be worth a try. The boy on the stand was not very encouraging, however I thought I'd give it a go anyway! Not really good for the diet, however sometimes you just have to be adventurous.
Kind of like a big donut really!
Then the next day we were off on another adventure to New York City, we took the express train and were so lucky to get help with all our bags! (A girl just can't help shopping)
One of my favourite finds was Magnolia Bakery, such an amazing place, the smell of all these gorgeous cakes and pies cooking was so yummy! Their cupcakes, brownies and Banana Cream Pie are to die for!
I also walked Central Park early in the morning, and although it was extremely hot and humid, it was amazing to walk through this place without the crowds, it is so quiet and beautiful. (also good exercise after all those cakes)
A very moving visit to the World Trade centre memorial, a night tour of the city and a broadway show, made for a very busy 3 days. I love New York and would go back tomorrow if I could. All good things must come to an end, and I was missing my family, and I had no more room for shopping in my suitcases, so it was time to come home!
It is time to take all the goodies from CHA on the road to show all our fabulous customers all around Australia.
Love Life & Create
