I have two boxes which to shows text to the left and right of a document.

\begin{minipage}[t][1in][t]{2in}
{\Huge First line box 1}\\
{\footnotesize Second line box 1}
\end{minipage}
\hfill
\begin{minipage}[t][1in][t]{2in}
    \begin{flushright}
{\footnotesize
First line box 2\\
Second line box 2
}
\end{minipage}

These boxes align based on the baseline, however it looks ugly because of the huge text of box 1. I know I can raise box 2 a bit with \raisebox so that they are aligned based on top border of box 1, but it's kind of hacky. Is there any more elegant way to do it?
