We've been in Boston since Wednesday so, that's why I haven't been around in the last few days. We are having a lovely time seeing friends and meeting new people. We had a blast today taking the kids to the aquarium. They were mesmerized by all of the fish and especially the penquins. K's favorite part was seeing the shark. I thought that was pretty cool too. One really interesting thing about Boston is that it is very easy to get lost. Our first night in the city got us lost for an hour and a half and we ended up in a not-so lovely part of town. Thank goodness for the family we are staying with, they guided us safely home via a cell phone conversation and after the stress had subsided we had a good laugh about it. The kids were sound asleep in the back seat and missed the whole thing. This morning we awoke to approximately 7 inches of snow outside of our window. It made me feel right at home as we walked through the piles of slush and yuck. It made me wish I had remembered my snow boots. I knew I should have made a list....
One of the main reasons we are here is because my husband does quite a bit of ministry travel here and has been able to connect with alot of great people and he wanted me to be able to meet some of them and also, one of his friends is a Pastor here and they were holding a conference and Kent was sharing there yesterday so, we decided to make it a family trip. It's a lot of work to bring the kids on a trip but, in the long run it's so worth it because they have such a fun time and get to see new surroundings and meet new friends. All in all my impression of Boston is a good one. A very beautiful city and the great new friends I've met have made the city even better! I'll have another post when we get back.
