Home.

For the past year, we've called the Charlestown Navy Yard our home. And we fell in love. It's a quaint little area consisting of about 30 acres. A 20 minute walk to Boston, right across the bridge from the North End and the TD Garden, and four miles to Logan Airport. All that, combined with rich history, gorgeous views, and fantastic people. We're hoping to be back as soon as Ash's fellowship is complete. Below are some pictures that I took on a recent walk--maybe you'll come to see why we love it so much. :-)

Our building:


Our building from the back--you can see why it's called "Harborview"...


It is right on the Harborwalk:


The main entrance to the Navy Yard--about a five minute walk from us:


The USS Constitution is also permanently docked here: (they sail it once a year on the 4th of July)


More on rich history--this building is literally right across the street from us:


The view of Boston from the Navy Yard:


The edge of Charlestown--right on the other side of the Leonard Zakim Bridge: (you can see how close we live to the TD Garden!)


I love this bridge so much, here's another picture. We see it everyday--I'm going to miss it. :-(


If you've never been to the Charlestown Navy Yard--definitely visit the next time you're in Boston. It's absolutely gorgeous. If you can wait, hopefully we'll be back in three years permanently, and then you'll have a place to stay! :-)

Until then, packing has begun for NYC. Upper West Side, we'll see you in 2 weeks!
