Back from Bean Town :(

Okay, I will be honest. We did not want to return to AZ. I told Kerry we live on the wrong side of the country the 2nd day of our trip. Its such a beautiful change of scenery back east, I can't explain it. We left Cooperstown on Friday and again we had a bit of difficulty finding our way out! I am not sure what the deal is with that town, but the street signs are nonexistent. Luckily if they are posted, you don't see them until you miss the turn. There has to be an easier way!

We got into Plymouth, MA friday and met up with my family for dinner who was in the area for my cousin's wedding. We had planned to attend, but later found out that no children were allowed so we had to pass. Bummer. I did however get to enjoy a yummy Lobster and a Maine Blueberry Mojito! We met up again Saturday for a stroll around town, lunch and shopping. Plymouth Rock was all fenced up for construction, so I am glad I got to take a peek a couple years ago.......you know its just a rock with a fence around it right? Plymouth was gorgeous. My waterfront condo was available.........if only I could win the lottery!

Sunday morning we left for Boston in the rain. We knew showers were expected, but were praying to God that Caleb would be able to see his first baseball game at Fenway. We returned our rental car, hopped in a cab and headed to our final hotel, the Jurys in Boston. If you ever need a great place to stay in the city, I highly recommend this hotel. We have stayed there twice when we have been able to get a decent rate and we love it! As we walked to the T it was sprinkling lightly and our hopes for clear skies were getting higher. We got to Fenway and it started pouring! It is amazing how many fans will flock to this ballpark rain or shine! Red Sox Nation baby! Kerry bought us some ponchos as Caleb and I huddled under our umbrella. I was not looking forward to this game. I was amazed that the rain managed to cease and no ponchos were needed, that Caleb was able to enjoy his first ball game in the happiest place on earth......not Disneyland my friends. We finished our last night in Boston at Charley's on Newbury. Caleb tried some tomatoes and liked them.......Kerry was not so happy about this.

One more quick comment to make before I end. Caleb was able to take a quick nap before we headed to the airport on Monday. I had a jazz station on for background music and occasionally they would have an audience clapping. (Caleb just started clapping a few weeks ago) As I sat there in the dark I thought to myself, wouldn't it be funny if he started clapping too? Within a few moments of that thought I hear my sweet boy's hands.
