The story of my traveling life is often one of mishaps when plans go awry, usually because of circumstances I have no control over. (For a taste of this, see my posts “Tahiti Tsumani experience: Part 1” and “Part 2” or my guest post on Meradeth Houston’s blog about trying to get to Alaska to run a marathon “Katie Carroll and Sary in the Real World.”) So when our plans to visit a family member’s farm in upstate NY didn’t work out because of issues with their well, the hubby and I scrambled to come up with a new plan.
And that plan ended up being a trip to Boston! We stayed just one night, but we packed it full of fun, and fun for the boy always includes visiting firehouses. We also went to the Boston Museum of Science where we got to see what it would be like to be on the International Space Station (The Prince’s favorite part of the museum) and see the dinosaur bones (The Boy’s favorite part).
Here are some pics from our trip and one from The Gentleman’s birthday because a first birthday is a big deal!
How have your summer plans been going?
Spontaneity is commendable, and spontaneity with three young kids deserves a deep bow 🙂
Lovely to see you all in a city I once knew well^
We were already prepared to pack everything up, so it was more a matter of changing the destination. It’s nice to live so close to both Boston and NYC that we can visit either when we’re up for it.
What fun!
It was a lot of fun! Thanks for popping in, Vijaya!
