New England Vacay Continued: Boston / Travel Photographer

We went to Boston for a day and checked out Paul Revere's house.  A bit wonky as you can see but amazing to have that piece of history still standing with the city built around it.  See the sky scraper in the background?  They don't allow pictures inside unfortunately but here are a few of the outside.  I really like the paint color actually, it's back in style!

From there we went to the Old North Church where the lantern was hung as a signal to spread the word quickly that the British troops were coming.  You may remember this verse from the poem, Paul Revere's Ride, "One if by land, and two if by sea."

We also drove to Cambridge to check out Harvard University.  This is how the smarties of Harvard spent that Sunday afternoon.  My mom had to join them for a picture. haha.  She really could have attended an Ivy League school if she wanted to but she went to Mizzou (University of Missouri).  In the search for a bathroom at Harvard we came across this giant magnifined glass (by the way this word is not in the dictionary...it's supposed to be magnifying glass but I always thought it was magnifined...right?)  Obviously I wouldn't qualify for Harvard for not knowing the correct spelling/pronunciation of this word.  Anyway, this thing is filled with water and pretty awesome.

At the end of the day we checked out the USS Constituation, which was built at the order of George Washington in 1797.  The ship was also nicknamed "Old Ironsides" during the War of 1812.

2011 Planner Inspirations

It's time to get next year's planner.  I have to say, my planner is very important to me, not only to schedule photo shoots and appointments but I also like that I can look back on each year and see what I was doing every day and where the time went.  April 6th, 2009 what did we have for dinner?  I could probably tell you!  What was I shooting and for which magazine?  I could tell you that too!  It's a good habit to record each day since the weeks and months have a way of flying by.  This year I am definitely on the lookout for the right planner since the one I have for 2010 doesn't always agree with my Signo gel pens.  I put together some inspiration planners to share with you today and I hope you will find one that pleases you too and take the time to record 2011!

From left to right...1. Lett's Blossom Calendar is pocket size so that's always nice when it can fit in your purse and the price is fantastic!  It also comes in purple, grey, and red and each has a different flower pattern.  2. Faux Crocodile momAgenda is nice because it has space to schedule mom and up to four children, and it can also be personalized, which I really like.  3. This sterling-silver MyAgenda Day Planner is stylish and stain resistant and can be personalized as well.   4. I really like the graphics on this Botanica Wire-bound Weekly Planner from Franklin Covey.  They also have notepads that match this planner.  5. Sorbet Weekly/Monthly Planner is not only pretty, but the company that makes this planner  (MWV) donates to breast cancer research, treatment, and education so that is great!  6. This bright patterned weekly planner is by Etsy shop, MadalinasCraftWorld. This planner is designed on the front and back, which I like.  7. This Essence Express Day Planner has a fun pattern and comes in 2 sizes available from Day Runner.  8. The colors are fun in this Simplicity Ring-bound Weekly Planner Refill, which also comes in a wire-bound option.  9. From the same company is this really nice Classic Houndstooth Wire-bound Cover which is great if you like to reuse the same cover and add the pages as you go.  10. This Pocket Finsbury-Pink organizer is leather and comes with notepaper, address sheets, expense sheets, and address pages so it's great for keeping everything together.  11.  This yellow hand bound planner is really nice made by etsy shop, MyHandboundBooks.Tweet
