On the Road Again ... (actually the Air again)

Just got in this morning from a wonderful trip to Boston with the Hubby.

We stayed in Cambridge on the Harvard (pronounced Hahvad there)

campus at this fantastic hotel (below). He had a conference in the Architecture school and I came along to "chillax" as they boys say.

We did all the "touristy" sightseeing things like visit Paul Revere's home and tombstone, had a beer in the oldest tavern in America (yes, a Samuel Adams one), shop and shop, tour Harvard, learn about the Patriots that started our country, ate the finest seafood ever ...

saw a Boston Red Soxs game at Fenway park along with the Green Monster (pronounced monstah) which is the huge green backfield fence that only the best hit over...

and then ...

we truly pretended we had no kids and lots of money...

we rented this

asked specifically for a convertible that a family of 5 could NOT fit in

and drove along the coast of Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Maine.

We shopped in precious antique malls, saw the beautiful beaches of the Hamptons, ate homemade ice cream that costs as much as a pedicure and finally had dinner (shrimp, clam chowder, and lobster) approximately four feet from Jenna Bush ... yep, the President and his family as well as the former President were all in town at their place in Kennebunkport. We took a picture of their place ... oh my gorgeous!!

I loved taking a break with my man and love the sweet grandparents who helped to make it possible by taking on 3 wild kiddos for 5 days!!! I think at last, though, we are home for August. No more traveling for a while :)!!
