Never Had a Chance

Our final day in Boston took us from Fenway to the Sam Adams research brewery. Three days of walking are finaly catching up with us. We rounded off our Boston "to-dos" with baked beans, more chowdah, and our baked-stuffed friend you see here. We're a bit stuffed ourselves. My prediction: low conversation on the flight home. Its been an amazing trip, but we miss the kiddos and will be glad to get home. Thanks to the McAfees, Jeff and Mo, Don and Angewon (for looking after the dogs), and the great city of Boston for making it all possible.

BAck to the Hotel

The Celtics pulled off an OT win over the Heat (neither Garnett nor Wade were playing) so now we're headed back. The subway was just a bit crowded, but we managed. Looking forward to a long night's rest.

Celtics Game!!!

OK, after a small ordeal, we made it to the game. Apparently backpacks are not allowed in the stadium, so we had to pick up a bag from the proshop and dump our backpack in the trash. But no matter. We are here!

Day 2 - Make way for Ducklings!

We started day 2 in the public gardens before hitting the Freedom Trail. Found the ducklings and later bought the book.

We're in Bawston!

Consider it a late 10th (or 11th or 12th) or early 13th anniversary trip, but Jen and I are alone in Boston! Thanks to friends generous with their airline miles, we're away for three days taking it all in.

Today we headed down to Quincy Market (via the subway) for a little browsing after settling into our hotel. We dropped by the Visitor Center to get info for our trek down the Freedom Trail tomorrow. We'll hit some other attractions and finish up with a Celtics game at the Gardens. Right now we're waiting for our dinner reservations--seafood, baby! Then its chillout time in the room.
