Boston Travelogue Day #6--October 19
Good Morning! I am sad to leave Boston but glad to get back home to my own bed. I have put days 1-4 on my blog and have been trying to upload pics but blogger is not cooperating. I am off tomorrow so will have the day to play with that plus do the mountain of laundry that we are bringing home. I am going to TRY to upload more pics in my yahoo albums before I hop in the shower.
Last night we went to the banquet where my dh department received a community policing award. It was really cool. The dinner was great, they had steak one of my favorites. And Boston Cream Pie, one of dh favorites which I did not realize. What is up with Boston Cream Pie? It is not a pie……….it is cakeish. I think these Bostonians are glad I am going home because I don’t get a lot of things. But I can tell you that I love New England Clam Chowder!!
Funny story. We got a cab to return from the Convention Center to the hotel. This cab had no shocks. I told my dh that if we ride in a cab like that again I am wearing my sports bra. It was dangerous I tell you. I had things bouncing that I didn’t realize had any bounce left in them!!
This morning we will finish packing and get some breakfast. We should be back in the DFW area by midafternoon. Our children will be delighted! They have missed us. I am sure Ginger cannot wait to see me.
Of course, there will be knitting on the plane and maybe I will finish that book I have been reading. Hopefully dh will find something to read or do so that he won’t be leaning over me chatting to the person on my right like he did on the way here.
Bottom line, I highly recommend Boston. It is a fun place to be and I could see myself living here for a short period and having fun doing it. Part of me wishes that I had done some travel nursing and worked short contracts around the country when I was younger. But, I wasn’t a risk taker back then and had my life strictly planned out. I am still amazed that I took the T and survived it all. I guess nearing 40 is making me feel riskier………
