We had a great time on our trip to Boston over spring break. We left early Monday morning and dropped Chester off at this new kennel on the way--a place in the country where he got to walk next to fields of horses and sniff fellow dogs. We stopped in Natick, MA to hit the Lego store there. The boys spent their gift cards and we headed eastward to Danvers where our hotel was. We had dinner in Marblehead at this great restaurant, The Barnacle. I had lobster that was caught from their own boat--yum! Chris had salmon and Nolan had fish n' chips. Thomas was a rebel and had chicken fingers. The hotel was nice except for an icky pool and the service was so-so. Tuesday we managed to find the train station and maneuver our way to the aquarium. We had a blast there, and it was so relaxing watching those fish swim by. Nolan was into the sharks and Thomas like the stingrays. I was partial to the turtles and jellyfish. Chris liked everything. We went over to Quincy Market to have lunch and then headed back to the hotel. Wednesday we went to the Salem Maritime Historical Site and learned all about trade in colonial times. Nolan was especially interested and even filled out a booklet with questions about the plaques and earned a junior ranger badge. It was great to see the ocean and experience a different place. We left tired and happy.
Now we're back in school and baseball is here in full swing. We have games this Saturday and already had a practice. Sunday is Nolan's Blue and Gold Dinner too--I can't believe he's going to be a Webelo!
