Boston

Adelyn and I went to Boston over the weekend to visit with Aunt Rebecca and to meet Kelly, Justin and Jack. We had a flight out early Friday morning and landed in Beantown a little before noon, with a layover in DC. Paul and I were both a little anxious as I left since it was the first time we were flying and we had a layover and he wasnt with us. Adelyn did fantastic, though. She flew like a pro! She didnt cry on any of the flights- take off or landing. It made it a LOT easier for me!
We had our plans all worked out and ended up having to scramble a bit Thursday because Jack ended up coming down with the chicken pox. He was given a live virus vaccine at his 12mo checkup, and somehow he was one of the 0.05% of children who get chicken pox from the vaccine. Poor kid, cant catch a break!. After talking to some pediatrician friends, we learned that since it was such a weakened form of the virus he was given, he probably wasnt contagious anyways; however, we didnt want to take any chances. We decided that it would be better to stay with Aunt Bec Friday and Saturday nights and Kelly on Sunday, just to be safe. I think that ended up working out much better anyways, because Jack and Adelyn are on much different schedules!
We walked around Rebecca's part of town Friday afternoon, and Saturday we met up with Kelly and Jack and walked all over downtown Boston. Jack, a champion walker, could not understand why he couldnt get out and walk around. Adelyn went down for her nap as we entered into the public garden and Jack was able to get out and run around, chase birds, enjoy life in general. It was pretty funny- that boy can move! It was a fun, but exhausting day, for all involved. Sunday was spent at Kelly, Justin and Jack's house in Southborough. We sandboxed, swung, napped, played. Another fun day.
Unfortunately our trip had to come to an end. We had a lot of fun exploring a great city with family and friends, but are glad to be getting back into a normal routine.
