trip to boston & New York..

That sounds exotic to even me...but unfortunately it was not all it was cracked up to be! Jared had a business trip to Boston so we packed up and went with him. The kids weren't feeling great, but we went anyways. Our first day there consisted of sitting in a hotel room and going to the grocery store for medicine. We tried for naps...but one hour into it, when the kids finally settled down...the fire alarms went off...AHHH! That evening we met jared downtown to be tourists...apparantly kind of in the wrong part of town, but we found clam chowder at a food court and after a few hours of being lost we headed back to our hotel...jared wanted to sight see in the car a little on the way back...unfortunately that wound up being lost and driving in circles for another couple hours, by the end of that...the only one in the car not crying was daddy! The next day was glorious salvation. Jen Smith was so welcoming and had us over to her house. The only pictures from the entire trip were taken at her house where we played with friends and had lunch. The drive to her house and back and our time with her redeemed boston for me. Cambridge is a beautifully charming area. That afternoon we headed to New York for a conference weekend full of big plans only to have them thwarted by throwing up children. Our love and appreciation to Jason and Becca for inviting us to stay through all of that! It was so nice to be with family and have extra willing people to read to sick kids or run to the store for medicine! While it was an adventure...we hope our next trip will be filled with more sight seeing and eating, less throwing up and crying!!!
