Be STRONG in the Lord and the power of His might.

Our family desire is to be like a lamp on a lampstand shining forth for Christ. We pray that we can be a witness to those who don't know the Lord and an encouragement and blessing to those who do. Thank you for visiting the Strong family blog.

Boston Trip Highlights

Boston Trip Highlights:

Arriving at our hotel at 8AM and they had a room ready for us (even though check-in is not until 3PM).
Upgrading to Club Level which included free wi-fi, breakfast, evening hors d'oeuvres, and a much nicer room than we had with our original check-in.
Perfect, warm, beautiful, weather.
Watching Kyle walk at his graduation commencement.
Shopping on Newbury Street with Jesica, Kyle, Elisa, and Nathan.
Fenway Park.
Mike's Pastry - Florentine cannoli.
Regina Pizzeria with Cindi, Jesica, and Kyle.
Walking Back Bay with Tim and Kyle.
Swimming in the pool with the retractable roof open at night.
Taking a tour of Harvard with Kyle.
Walking from the North End all the way back to our hotel on our last night in Boston.
Boston's historical architecture.
Street performers.
Dinner in the North End with our whole group.
Walking along the Charles River waterfront.
Lunch in Cambridge with Elisa and Nathan.
Special time with family.


We were so blessed to spend our time in Boston with family.  It was so memorable to share it with everyone.  Thank you all for your love, support, and encouragement to our family as Kyle pursued his Master's degree.  It was awesome to be surrounded by family (near and far) as we celebrated Kyle's accomplishment.  


Now for the photos (I ran out of space to upload pictures on my Blogger so this is only the first day in Boston) ...
