Exploring the city

October 26th, 2013

Today is our first full day in Boston as a complete family.  The past week {or month} has been more chaotic than we are used to.  It's nice to have a day to relax and explore our new city.  Our apartment is still a complete mess, but it probably will be the entire time we are here.  I'm not going to worry about it today.

I'm usually a TV Nazi.  No so much this week.  The kids are in heaven. 

After a couple shows, we put on our cool weather apparel and hit the streets of Boston.  We walked to Harvard Yard, or as Christian calls it "Hava-daad", to play and eat lunch.

Ohh, it's cold!

Christian is never cold, according to him.  He thinks all coats, hats, sweaters, socks, shoes, and pants are totally unnecessary.

"Playing rough" with daddy.  Everyone's favorite game.

We visited the worlds only Curious George store.  Basically, a very small toy store with lots of Curious George stuff.  The kids loved it.

We ended up at an Indian buffet for lunch.  It was a brisk 60 degrees inside the restaurant (no lie, I saw it on the thermostat).  It was really good.  The kids enjoyed it as well (some things more than others).  I got Christian an "Indian Pancake".  He then proceeded to exclaim really loudly that he doesn't like Indians.  We tried to downplay the situation by saying "Oh, you don't like the Indian pancake?"  "No Mommy, I don't like Indians!"  I think I made it worse...

I'm kind of obsessed with their matching Keens.  I should be for how much they cost.

Lindalee's 1st ride on the T- Christian was showing her the ropes.  He was pretty pumped to be "in the sewers where the Ninja Turtles live".  

Christian remembers our T stop well.  Kendall (Square) is not only where we live, but also the name of his best {tie between her and her twin sister, so I'll just say 'best'} little girlfriend back in Charlotte.  He posed for a picture to send to her.  He can't wait for Kendall and her family to visit.....

Thankful for a day full of fun family time, with a side of TV.
