made it

We are in Boston!
Wow! What a gorgeous city! Beautiful.
Got lost a few times but didn't mind as there are so many interesting things to see.
So much history.
Hoping to go down to Cape Cod tomorrow or possibly to the Newport Mansions.
Kids are awesome travellers!! Luke slept from T.O. to Beantown.
Flowers are out and things are green. Water everywhere. Drove down Boylston Street (by accident)...the last stretch of the run on Monday.
Later!!
