Boston, Part one.

Posted on September 12, 2009

We had a fabulous time and we loved Boston.  It is a really beautiful city.  Which is a good thing, because our issues with our hotel reservation seriously threatened to ruin our trip.

The first night, we had a delicious dinner at a restaurant overlooking the harbor.

Then we walked along the harbor until we were all tired and ready to sleep.  We got some beautiful pictures of the sun seat and full moon.

I should also mention that we discovered the night before that we had forgotten to bring our stroller with us.  Oops.

We headed out to the Boston Children’s Museum.  It was cute, and fun.  We’ve been to better children’s museums, but Chloe still seemed to enjoy it, although, she was a bit cranky.  I suspect she didn’t sleep well because we could hear the elevator dinging all night from our hotel room.  We had a delicious (and expensive) lunch at the Barking Crab, then played some more at the museum.

Around two we started our long walk along the Freedom Trail.  Chloe was a trooper, and either walked or rode up on Daddy’s shoulders, but what she didn’t do is nap.

Our last stop was the Cheers bar from the TV show.  Our intention was to only take pictures, but Chloe decided she wanted to eat there.  John and I were like, “Awww shucks, do we have to?”  Just kidding.

Chloe fell asleep on Daddy’s shoulder on the walk back to the car.  John and I decided to make a pit stop at a Target we saw near our hotel and we picked up a cheap stroller for the next day.

This night we were woken up at about 1:30 or 2:00am by some very loud, obnoxious hotel guests.  They continued talking, laughing, and annoying the piss out of us for almost two hours.  I stuck my head out of the room to yell at them, but I couldn’t even see anybody in the hallways, and I didn’t know what room they were in.

The next morning, John had it out with hotel management and we were given free parking and vouchers for a free breakfast.  “Cause, yeah, those weren’t included in the cost of the hotel.
