Boston

Scott had a conference in Boston, so the rest of us tagged along to take in the sights while he attended meetings.

We experienced a little of our usual chaos when we reached our hotel room and were missing Isaac's security blanket/bunny/old rag. To him, it's simply Uh-oh. But he's completely attached to it and has to take it everywhere. Except, somewhere between the plane and our room, he had become completely unattached to it.

We retraced our steps, looked in every spot we could think of, enlisted the help of half of Boston, but still no Uh-oh. It seemed that Uh-oh had become a big UH-OH. After we managed to distract Isaac and even get him to sleep without it, we awoke to a message from the front desk that they were holding something for us. Sure enough, at 1:00 in the morning, Uh-oh had made it's way back to us. After being left in the car we'd taken from the airport to our hotel, apparently he'd had a big night out on the town, even taking in a concert over an hour away.

After our rough start, the rest of the trip was wonderful. The weather was great, so we were able to walk through several of Boston's historical districts. We saw Paul Revere's home and several old cemeteries. We ate clam chowder and took a sunset sail through the Boston Harbor on a beautiful sailing ship. We went to the aquarium, saw the swans, and the kids swam at the fountain in the middle of Boston Commons.

We packed a lot into a few days, but it was great! Boston's a beautiful city and I can't wait to go back.
