On June 22nd to the 27th, Matt went to Boston on a business trip for Training. This was a trip that he was really looking forward to going on. He left on Sunday and came home Friday. On Sunday since it wasn't a business day, Matt and Steve (Boss) went to Salem and did some site seeing around the area. Here are a few pictures of the places they saw.
Salem Graveyard
Nathaniel Henry Felt House 
Nathaniel H Felt lived an abundant and fruitful life of service to his family, church and community. Although he is not a "famous" figure in the history of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, he is a fine example of someone willing to sacrifice almost everything for the causes he loved most. Born at Salem, Massachusetts in 1816 he got a liberal start in an environment that groomed him for a prosperous future. Mr. Felt was one of Brigham Young's closest associates, and was entrusted with Young's daughter Vilate in 1844 (Vilate was sent to Salem for educational opportunities). From his service as pastor of London, a defender of Nauvoo, as an active emigration agent for his church in the United States and Europe, as Conference President in St. Louis, to his calling as Assistant Presiding Bishop and many other assignments, Nathaniel Felt made his own mark on the Restoration. This is a small biography from the Felt Family website www.nhfelt.org.
Monday they did some more site seeing
Plymouth Rock Plaque
MayFlower2. This is a replica of the MayFlower 
On Tuesday they got the opportunity to go to a Red Socks game against the Arizona Diamond Backs. This is the main reason Matt was looking forward to this trip. It was a dream of his to go to the Fenway Park and he finally got the opportunity to go. He had this same training last year before Evan was born but it was in Connecticut. They usually have it in Boston so he was sad that his Fenway Dream was postponed for another year. These pictures are to brag to his Uncles because they've been wanting to go to Fenway as well. 
They sat next to the Green Monster
The entire week was cloudy and raining but Wednesday was the only day they had sunshine. They did a little more site seeing and they took this picture of Plymouth Harbor
Thursday they went on a Paddle Boat ride and went to the Forefathers Monument
Forefathers monument is the inspiration for the statue of liberty and is the largest granite monument in the US
On Friday, Evan and I were really happy to have him home but we were glad he had a great time. He's looking forward to next year if they have the training again in Boston.
