Boston

We usually NEVER have a weekend off. In fact, weekends for us are really just one day, Saturday, since Sundays are so busy. Well, last weekend was an exception and we decided to make the best out of it by taking a little road trip. We've lived in the Northeast for six years now and we finally decided to venture out to the states that border us. One neat thing about living in Connecticut is that we are in driving distance to so many cool places. We started our trek around the Northeast with Boston. It's only about a two and a half hour drive, and this time of year it was such a beautiful drive with the trees and their changing leaves. Fall is another neat thing about living round these parts! So the Parkers hit the road last Saturday morning. We had no agenda or itinerary. We moved at our own pace and enjoyed the ride.

We spent our time in Boston lounging in our pjs, watching movies, eating snacks, going out to dinner, and sightseeing. We even slept late! This may not seem like a big deal, but sleeping until 7:30 is HUGE for us! Daddy P usually rises at 4:30, I'm right behind him at 5, and Evan is sometimes right behind me at 5:30! We had a great time!

We headed to the New England Aquarium on Sunday

 Ryan and Evan loved the story telling session.

 Up next was lunch at Legal Seafood. It was absolutely delicious. I've already asked to go back...

 I couldn't get all three of these big heads in the picture at once!

We had a blast in Boston and we're looking forward to our next getaway. We're thinking summer in Cape Cod would be nice. Of course, there's Martha's Vineyard. Then there's Maine,  New Hampshire, and Newport, Rhode Island. What about skiing in Vermont this winter?! Now all we need is another weekend off:)
