Darren had a Radiology conference in Boston the week of May 26th-April 3rd. Since we were fortunate to have his parents still here, I got to with him and enjoy a week in the STATES and with NO kids! :) It was a fabulous break!
The most exciting thing for me was literally in the back parking lot of our hotel! This is a view from our hotel window ... Can you see it? YES! It's a TARGET!!! So exciting!! There was even an Old Navy, Home Depot, Marshalls, Office Max, and Olive Garden back there! What more could a girl ask for?
Since the first day of the conference is just a check in, get your free bag and list of courses, we spent the rest of the day just moseying around Boston. We began with a Whale Watching tour ... This (above) is a view of the Boston skyline as we are riding out into the harbor.
And these? Yes, whales... though they may look like the Loch Ness, the one above is a "Minkie" whale (I've never heard of that kind either), and the one below is a Humpback whale (which you all knew, of course, by the trademark tail).
We enjoyed a week of American dining, some shopping, and even did a 2 mile "Freedom Trail" walk around Boston. We saw the North Church, 3 neat cemetaries (with famous people like Paul Revere, John Adams, John Hancock, etc. buried), Bunker hill, and other cool sites. It made me realize that I should probably brush up on my American History now that I have a good grasp on the European WWII era ...
