Kyacks and Fenway

 Day 2 started at 11:20 and we met to kyack on the Charles River.  Well before that Andrew walked to Dunkin Donuts and got Breakfast for Jack, Nick and me.  So Fab. 

 And some munchkins which are those donut holes.  Chocolate glazed are the best donut holes.  

 This is a famous river that runs in Boston and ends up in the Atlantic Ocean.

I was a bit leary about kyacking.  I have done it before, but I didn't want to get wet and I was a bit unsure about getting in and out of the kyack.  When I kyack at Bear Lake, you are already wet and in the water.  But I watched the video a few times how to get in and out.  Which out is just the opposite.  

We were greeted by Brody and Abi with these fabulous signs!  

Here we are getting all life jacketed up.  

Abi and Brody

Andrew got the short straw and had to kyack with me

All my honeys 

Then we headed to Tasty's for Lunch.  We worked up a total appetite.

Tasty's is across from Fenway Park.

It is a great place for Hamburgers and Great Diet Coke and Fries.

THEN we headed to the Fenway Fan Store.  We shopped and shopped and got some Red Sox gear.

Thats the best I got for the fenway gear!  Just seeing Jack's and Brooke's and Ty and Brooke's hat.

THEN we headed across the street to Fenway Park Tour.

There's the Green Monster. 

These were the cool farms they have on the top of one of the roofs at Fenway.  It is all fresh produce and they use that in the salads and stuff at concessions

All the honeys.  We are on top of that green wall and thats the highest point in the park.  Fun Fact you can't just walk around on that green wall.  They added 269 extra seats on that wall and it is the only place you can't walk freely during game days.

It was a super cool tour.  Like cooler than you would think.  The tour guide was a great red sox fan.  Well he made him self out to sound like one.  I loved seeing the stadium with no one there, and see all the happenings that go on.  

On the way out they gave us a pair of Red sox socks. 

Then we headed to Bisquits and Bourbon.  Abi and Brody's great restaurant that we went to last summer when we were here for Abi's White Coat Ceremony.

Great food and not so great water with no ice that we had to keep asking for refills.  

Andrew and Ty were the ones that paid.  So nice of them.

Abi decorated in graduation HUD because we couldn't decorate her house. 

Arrived in Boston!

And we are off!  We got our boarding passes and our trip itiniary.  Thanks to Andrew and Brooke making all the arrangements.  We are headed to Boston to see our Abi Graduate from the Physician Assistance program at Northwestern.  

We had our boarding passes ready, headed to the airport.  

Here we are, Andrew is sitting across the isle wiht the lady who is eating part of her Panda Express.  It reminded us of the person eating a salad with ranch at an outdoor concert we went to.  He was so proud of himself for gettin this salad with RANCH at Winco for 3.00 and it stunk up the entire area around him when it was hot.  So does Panda Express in an airplane.  

Got to our Hotel, the Sheratan 4 Seasons in Newton, MA.  Always take a pic of your room number in case you get liquored up and can't remember where it is.  I think it is good advice anyway.

Flight was uneventful.  Jack survived his second plane trip and Nick his third.  

Nick's Homecoming

 

Nick's homecoming was Sunday.  He posted this.  

We were sent the zoom link.

Abi sent us this from the zoom call.  That was fab that she got to listen in.  I think Chili also zoomed the meeting.

Nick did a great job.  Of course. 

We had a shindig at grandma's house since our house is too small and not that nice.  

These are the only pictures I took since I was trying to feed everyone and talk to people. 

We had  Taco bar. It was a pretty good idea.  The food was really good.  Michelle helped SOOO much as did Brooke and Andrew.  It wouldn't have happened without everyone helping out.

Andrew turns 26

 Happy Birthday to Andrew.  Today was his 26 birthday.  That is a milestone because just like that he is off my health insurance.  He has to be covered until the end of the month until he is dropped.  Good thing he has a good job at the IRS now so he is covered.

Anyway, he wanted to play in Mens league tonight at Eaglewood, but Easton, his BFF, had to work.  So we decided at the last minute to go to Golden Ginger for Dinner.  Our favorite place.  

Booke, Ty, Jack, Kent, Lili and Andrew attended the dinner.  Nick was with someone else tonight so he didn't get to experience the Golden Ginger.  

Food was good and company was better.

Jim posted Jack and Ty.

Happy Birthday from his Love :)

Happy Birthday from Brody :)

Happy Birthday to Andrew AND the Ton.  He is 3 today.  

We celebrated Ton today too.  He got to stay home.

We had a great time.  Love to Celebrate Andrew and Ton!
