Normally a post like this would include pictures, but
a) I was so busy in Boston I only took about 5 pictures
and
b) Our laptop isn't feeling well and one of the symptoms is not letting me upload any pictures. I am dropping it at the Apple store today, and hopefully it will be returned to us in a few days good as new.

Things that happened in Boston:

-On the way there we sat in a ton of traffic. Cranky toddler wanted out of the car and kept screaming things like "GO!" and "All done driving!" and "All done car!" and "Get out!"

-We stayed in a big beautiful yellow mansion within walking distance of Harvard Square. It was awesome, as was our hostess.

-We met David Sedaris, my favorite author. He was just as strange as I had imagined he would be. We talked to him about sinks you can't stop up, airport hotels, and drinking breast milk.

-We met a 20 year old who didn't know what blogging was.

-The husband backed the rental car in to a tree and smashed the bumper and a light.

-We ate ice cream with friends on one of the coldest June nights.

-We ate ourselves silly at the following places:
Burdick's (I used to be the manager there-Try the milk hot chocolate)
Zaftigs (Try the banana stuffed french toast and the potato pancakes)
Centre Street Cafe (Best brunch place in the Boston area- everything on the menu is good)
Upstairs on the Square (Try the grilled cheese with tomato soup)
Grasshopper (Everything on the menu is good)

-We walked by Jessica Biel and drove by Jennifer Garner and Violet Affleck (adorable!)

-I took two naps

-We met with several old friends.

-I bought two purses includingthis one in the tree print.

-We met a former MIT PHD financial genius who basically gave us a crash course in all things financial.

- I didn't watch TV and didn't miss it.

-I wore more heels in 5 days than I have in 5 months.

-I considered moving back.

-I relaxed.
