And finally Boston

I know it's taken me forever to get these few little things posted, but what can I say, I've been busy. Anyway, the last day of our trip was spent in Boston and if you'll notice, I don't even have a big coat on in some of the pictures! The weather was MUCH better than New York. It was a balmy 50 degrees (or something). Anyway, it was actually very nice for walking around.
We stopped at lots of the quick sites around town. You know, as much as you can do in one day in Boston (with a pregnant lady waddling around with you).

All the men showing us what men they are. (Mikey's just the cutest, don't you think?)

Mikey getting friendly with a horse. Actually, we were trying to get Mikey to sleep when Lance saw this horse and couldn't resist. As you may guess, it didn't help the sleep factor.

Cape Cod

Well of course you have to go to the beach when you're in Cape Cod! Okay, so most people don't visit Cape Cod in the winter, but you gotta do, what you gotta do. So we still wanted to go. It was gorgeous and sunny...just freezing.
The dads were up for a picture...the kids not as much.

All of us huddled at the beach :) And in case you were wondering, the fact that they were in snow coats and freezing, did not stop the kids from wanting to play in the water and splash around!


So my wonderful Aunt Tobey is a fabulous potter and after showing us all how easy it is (see the finished bowl next to Lance), she let us have a go. As you can see, Lance was a natural. Don't be surprised if little pots just like that one start showing up wherever you go.

Now you really can't go to Cape Cod without having lobster, but the whole town was conspiring against us to try and stop us! So again, not really the season to visit Cape Cod and lobsters weren't all that available, but my Aunt did not stop until she found some VERY tasty critters. (By the way, Mikey is actually eating out of a red bowl in that background there, not a lobster, but I had to double check when I saw the picture)
