Boston

For memorial day weekend, Nic, Kacy, Seth, and I went to Boston courtesy of Kacy's dad. He was going to be in Boston and decided to treat us to a hotel and food for three days and two nights. The experience was vastly different than my last in Boston just about a year ago. I mean it was still smelly, noisy, busy, rude, and overall just a big city, but with the longer stay and the aid of a GPS we had a much better time. The first night was really just dinner and settling in to the hotel. Our room, number 503, was just across the hall from the fitness room. We all went there to check it out, and although we did not use the equipment we did use the extra space and mirrored walls to do yoga. It sure felt good after two weeks in absence. Seth joined in for certain parts, and really enjoyed watching TV in bed afterwards.

Saturday, our full day in Boston, was pretty sweet. We skipped being lost Downtown like last year and enjoyed the street performers and vegan food instead. During breakfast Seth lost his first baby tooth and almost cried when I pulled it out all the way. He soon got over the shock and proudly looked at his tooth in my hand. Later that night the tooth fairy actually found her way to our hotel and left him four shiny quarters in exchange for his tooth. It was like a mini Christmas in May.

After a full day of running around we decided to take a nap at the hotel. We closed the curtains and slept for about an hour, promptly woke and realized we came to Boston only to miss Earth Fest and nearly Cake playing at the outdoor stage for free! We threw on some clothes, grabbed the GPS, parked the car for $15 and ran to see the last 45 minutes of the show. As I have only been to a limited amount of concerts, I was pretty pleased to be at a Cake concert with only $15 dollars down the drain. Seth did pretty well too. He liked it even though there were a ton of people all around. We even thought he was dancing along until we realized he was just putting pebbles down his shirt and squirming until they came out the bottom. Cute nonetheless.

After a night of vegan pizza and calzones, a morning of subways, followed by another round of yummy food we made our way home to Vermont where we watched The Labyrinth and laughed at David Bowie's crotch.
