I’ve always been a hopeless romantic.  We all know this… and recently I found someone new to be a hopeless romantic to.  She ran away to Boston for the weekend and I decided to try something really awesome.  This is a photo-essay of the experience, part one of a two part epic miniseries.

The idea was simple, drive 6 hours to meet her when her bus arrives in Boston and give her a blue french horn wearing a suit.  I know, I know– it sounds ridiculous, but if you’ve ever seen How I Met Your Mother, you’d get it.

First, we needed to drive for 6 hours to Boston.  Luckily Elena knew the way.

6 hours is a lot longer than you think sometimes.

We got hungry so we broke into an orchard and stole some apples.  They were delicious.

We then met with Obama to see what he thought of the idea.  He endorsed it.

…and it was then time to suit up, so I had to be fitted for a suit.

I tried on a couple of suits, but I wasn’t sure yet.

I also looked at a couple of shirt/tie combos.  I really liked this one.

Then I think I found a winning combination.

We couldn’t park in the city, so we had to take the subway in.

Somewhere after this my digital camera ran out of batteries, so stay tuned for the second installment of this two part megaseries, when the film from the disposables develops.
