We just had an amazing week in Boston! Mama and Dada lived here for 7 years before we were born, but this was our first time there. We had such a fun time! We spent the first few days staying with Dr. Beth & Mr. Mike, Mama's friends from residency. We did the Freedom Trail with their family and had a great time learning about the beginnings of America! There are SO MANY cemeteries in Boston! But there are so many cool people buried there! So many Founding Fathers, signers of our Constitution! Mama and Dada took us on walks along the Charles River, along the route that they walked daily to work. Though the river was lovely, and the old buildings were super cool, FELIPES was AMAZING! They ate at Felipes every weekend, and keep talking about it. And they are actually right -that place is delicious! I also ate my way through some lobster rolls, and we all enjoyed the pasta & pizza of the North End. We loved the Boston Common - and showed Mama & Dada that there are more child-friendly parks in Boston than they every realized! We did Ghost Tours and Duck Boat tours too! How cool is it that our tour vehicle turned into a boat!!! Both Keevah & I even got to take turns driving it! We spent a whole afternoon at the Science museum and another afternoon at the Harvard Natural Science museum enjoying the glass flowers, minerals, and taxidermy collection (sounds weird but it was so so cool). Most evenings were enjoyed with a variety of friends from Grad School & Residency, and also with some folks that are affiliated with Dada's current company, Kobold Metals. Dada gave a super cool talk at Harvard - it was awesome to see him in action at his Alma Mater. He took us on a walk around Harvard, and I think I may want to go to college in Boston some day! Though we both loved Boston, I particularly bonded with the city and was super sad to leave.
But - we missed our menagerie - and 12 new baby chicks arrived the day after we got home. The pumpkin patch was also calling our name.
