First Days in Boston

It is SO COLD!!!! I knew we would find it chilly because of the lower temperatures and no humidity but it is down right cold.  Yesterday the high was 52, today was 54 and it's overcast and rainy! I have been to Target to buy jackets and sweats!

But, before the weather got so miserable, we were able to do some fun things.....

Rooftop of our Apartment

Kids listening to their echo off of TD Garden (next door)

Zakim Bridge 

 This is a statute somewhere (I can't remember where) that has a bronze donkey but the footprints in front of the donkey as you can see have elephants.  And incase you can't read it, underneath the footprints it says "stand in opposition". So of course we did because that's the whole reason we're here.

But they did have to ride the donkey of course!!!! 

We did a "Duck Tour" which took us around the city, then into the water! And afterwards gave the kids some really loud and annoying duck whistles.  

At the park down from our apt.

The USS Constitution - which we can see from the park

 Out for dinner in Littly Italy

Because it's been so cold lately, we've entertained ourselves inside.

Ebbie likes to play dress-up

Bo likes to make fun of us

They've both become excellent Uno players

And Artists

Lastly, we've all become severe Celtics fans!

Love y'all!

To Boston We Go.......

Well, we drove 1500 miles from Mississippi to Boston. It really wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be.  The kids did great watching movies, and we read the first four books of Junie B. Jones which they LOVED.  Of course, we broke the trip up over several days, stopping at Dollywood in TN, then spending the night in Roanoke, VA and in Middletown, New York.  

 The kids loved Dollywood....they said it was better than Disney although I think they're memories are a little skewed!

Mountain in Roanoke, VA

The story of the Natural Bridge. 

 Thanks Grandaddy for recommending the Natural Bridge...It was very beautiful!

Extra information.....We drove by a prison in PA (I think) and Bo said if he owned a prison he'd make the bad guys eat raw fish every night! (Apparently his new consequence for disobeying his parents should be Sushi for dinner!)

.....Ebbie had the best demeanor through the whole trip.  We stayed up til 12 almost every night driving and even when she only got a 10 minute nap, she never whined or was in a bad mood.  

Love y'all!
