Boston

Trip stats:
Seafood eaten: lobster, stuffed clams, clam chowder, atlantic salmon, cod, scrod ("I can't believe I just ordered scrod."), crab, tuna, shrimp, mussels
Transportation utilized: bus, subway, walking, boat, taxi, carousel
Best hotel amenity: hot tub
Best mother's day present: Jerry and Chris played with the kids in the park and Carrie and I took a nap
Cost of giant vat of pho at Le's vietnamese restaurant in Cambridge of which Rachel and I together could only eat 65%: $6.75
Best ice cream flavor: tie between "chocolate therapy" and "maple walnut"
Best historical item: Ship biscuit saved by one of the original sailors on the USS Constitution
Worst historical item: the Plymouth rock. Which, according to the disclaimer on the signpost: may or may not be the original rock, if there even was a single rock, which we're not sure of, and if there were, it probably would have been a lot bigger than this, etc, etc.






Viewer beware: I put 70 pictures in this slideshow.

  4. I was too impatient to finish the slide show to get to the fake rock. What number is it?

    And it really does look like a cool city, maybe one of these days. You are very pregnant and very beautiful.
