Mom's trip to Boston! Here we are eating dinner at the Top of the Hub overlooking the city. We ate some great food! Places we ate: Cheers (the original), the North End (Pagliucca's and Mike's Pastry), the Chocolate Bar at the Langham Hotel, and the Omni Parker House (home of the first Boston Cream Pie). It was all so good! The second picture is with the beautiful (but slightly cut off-oops) city behind us.

Boston Marathon! Rachel, Doug, and I had a great time watching the marathon yesterday. We saw Doug's brother run, and then we walked the last 3 miles of the course in the spectator area to the finish line. Patriot's Day (when the marathon is held) is a state holiday when schools close (except Harvard) and everyone comes out to watch the race. The weather wasn't great, but it at least stopped raining for the last half of the race. I wonder how many marathoners are laying in bed right now because they can't move? They are all nuts. No one should run for three hours straight. I'm just glad I was watching the race and not running it!
