Beautiful Boston

By Amity -
We had a jam packed day in Boston today.  We started early by taking the subway in, instead of having to drive and deal with traffic in the city.  We hopped off at Fenway Park for a few pics then caught a trolley to tour the city.  We hopped off at the Boston Tea Party Museum to learn about what happened here several hundreds of years ago.  The tour was phenomenal, the folks in costume played an excellent part.  We had a "town meeting", then onto the ship we went to toss the tea......then learned what happened "afterwards".  It was so well done and I think we all learned alot.  

After the Tea Party Jan and the kids hopped back on the trolley while John and I walked to Paul Revere's House.  The restoration of the house was very cool, the kids couldn't believe how small it was.  Next we followed the "Freedom Trail" for a while viewing more historical sights.  Later we hopped on the trolley again to head back to the subway, we passed "Cheers" along the way.  We didn't have time to stop but I would have loved to.  We topped off the night with a "Whalburger"....which was delicious.  It was a long day but we all had fun and learned alot.

Friday night Christina came out from LA to hang with us. John headed out early Saturday morning to spend a week fishing in Mexico with Jimmy for his 40th birthday!  Saturday Christina and the kids played almost all day long.  From shooting targets with Mac to being a princess, then playing Zombies with the kids and lots of Uno....all before lunch!  We hung out at the pool for a little in the afternoon, then met Mike and Sarah for some dinner and arcade games.  What an awesome way to end our last night with Grandma Cheryl, Mike and Christina.  I think everyone had a blast and I think Christina slept pretty well Saturday night!!!!!!

The forecast for today was a high of 100 degrees with humidity so what else is there too do on a hot day but hit the movies. I surprised the kids with lunch then we went and saw Toy Story 3 in 3D, the kids loved it. Emily did much better than I expected and only got bored the last 20 minutes or so. Mac of course couldn't take his eyes off the movie.
