Boston or Burst!!!!
The trip to Boston was a lot of fun. We started by driving 3 hours to Portland (I live in the middle of absolute no where!), from their we got on the train and headed for the big city. The Train was not exciting but since I hate to drive it was a welcome mode of transportation. Upon arriving at the train depot in Boston we hailed a cab (new to both girls, no cabs where we come from) and were deposited at the front lobby of the Mariott at Copley Square. What a beautiful hotel, we were on the 33rd floor which offered a magnificent view of the city and the harbor, it is also attached to a fairly large mall, complete with restaurants and bars and within walking distance to most everything. Here’s Baby Girl with the View behind her
. We took a Trolly tour of the city during the day on Friday and spent several hours at Quincy Market just wandering and people watching. Here is a picture of Bre with the ‘kewl’ new fella 
she met in the square. That evening we did a Ghost and Graveyard tour which was supposed to be scary but really wasn’t…it was fun to walk around at night though…and the girls got to experience the City Toilet
– being the hicks that we all are….it was quite the treat…We especially got a laugh out of the directions…first it took a quarter to use it, then you had to decide which side you wanted to enter the potty from prior to entering…then you have a time limit…”an alarm will sound after 20 minutes and then the doors will automatically open….Well after laughing so hard it hurt we all decided that we would NOT want to be the next user if someone spend their entire 20 minutes inside. Here is an interesting picture….
notice the thought bubbles….finally proof that teens really to think…hmmmmm….
Sister and I went to Manopause The Musical
, it was so damned funny and scary too, I strong recommend that if the opportunity ever arises that you all see it…men women children…all of you - it’s a real treat.
