One of the activities we enjoyed most was a walking church tour through one of the most historic parts of town. I know we are big nerds...but, it really was cool & interesting. The first two pictures are from our favorite church that we visited, Circular Congregational Church. They had 1,000 origami cranes hanging at the front of the church which were called the 1,000 Cranes of Peace. Kit mentioned that he would love to do something like this in baby girl's room. I think it would be beautiful. So, if anyone has origami skills they want to share...hook us up! ;) Another interesting thing about the old churches was the graveyards that were around them. Some of them had graves from the 1700s. You could really see a difference in how "tombstone art" has changed over the years.
We spent one day doing activities in the city and 2 days hanging out at the beach. It was the perfect combination of activity and relaxation. I have been so blessed to have a companion who enjoys doing the same things as I do. So, when we go on vacations we never have any disagreements over what we should do. Plus, Kit's been working so hard lately...I think we were both just glad to have uninterrupted time together. This trip was just what we needed to gear up for all the preparations we're going to be focused on for the next 3 months.

I probably shouldn't tell you Page folded a thousand origami butterflies to be thrown as confetti at our wedding reception. No, definitely shouldn't tell you that... Nope, bad idea... Real bad... Horrible...
You know that your sister can fold origami cranes...
