Boston

Sorry- these pictures are in complete reverse order. Suzee and me on the plane home from Boston- 08/22/09. We sat on the runway waiting to take off for over an hour due to bad weather. By the time we landed in Phoenix, Suzee was DONE! We did everything imaginable to keep her entertained. The goodies from the trade show we went to helped out, including a sausage snack and a flashing light.

Me at the Orgill show- 08/20/09. Jay refused to take any pictures, so I took some of myself (for my posterity, you know). I've been reading Grandma Lunt's journal, and enjoy having pictures to look at, along with her entries.

Jay and Suzee at a Deli for breakfast/lunch- 08/20/09. It was in an upscale office building, but the closest thing to our hotel.

I loved Boston. And Sarah- I even mapquested how far it would be to visit you, but I couldn't work out a 7 plus-hour drive one way in the 3 days we were there. So sorry. Maybe you could meet us in Orlando in February??? Anyway, back to Boston. It was beautiful. I could spend lots of time sightseeing there. Lots to do. We walked part of the Freedom Trail:

Freedom Trail next to Faneuil Hall
The Freedom Trail is a red (mostly brick) path through downtown Boston, Massachusetts that leads to 16 significant historic sites. It is a 2.5 mile (4 km) walk from the Boston Common to the Bunker Hill Monument in Charlestown and is popular with tourists. Part of the Freedom Trail has been included in the longer Boston Harbor Walk. The Freedom Trail is a unit of Boston National Historical Park.
The Freedom Trail was originally conceived in 1958 by local journalist William Schofield who was promoting the idea of linking important local landmarks with a pedestrian trail since 1951. Fifty years later tourists from all over the world visit Boston and walk in the footsteps of history.

It was cool to see some of these sights. We had dinner at a fancy steakhouse that was less than impressive. We got the kids a little souvenir, and did lots of walking- both at the show and in the city. Our time was limited, or else we could have done/seen lots more. During the trip, I spent lots of time feeding Suzee in the restrooms. When we were walking through the show, she got lots of attention. She did well on both flights, for which I was very grateful. Overall, it was great.
