We left Cooperstown Friday morning and headed to Boston. It was a beautiful drive.
Our first stop in Boston was a Whale Watching Cruise. After finding the parking garage and paying $35 to park we boarded the boat. I have to say I was very excited. I love whales and was so glad my family was willing to do this with me.

We passed many wind turbines on our trip. In 2nd grade we study natural resources so I had to snap pictures to show my class.
Finally after an hour and 1/2 we were out far enough to see whales.

| there were two |
This is the best shot I got of the whale coming out of the water.
We left the Whale Watching and headed to check in the hotel. It was a little stressful trying to figure out Boston and get parked at the hotel. I had pricelined the hotel and got a good deal at the W hotel. Well to say I was out of my comfort zone is an understatement. They did not have self parking. It was valet only. Well the OCD in me had a problem handing over my keys. LOL
We went to eat at a place called Rock Bottom. It was right across from our hotel. Rob got the largest
plate platter of nachos we have ever seen.
After dinner the kids and I walked next door to the 7 Eleven. We got 4 Fiji waters for the price of 1 at the hotel. The kids were shocked at how over priced things were at the hotel.

Haley and I decided we were going to shower and stay in the room while the boys went to the Red Sox game. Robbie & Hunter had seats right next to the green monster.
We are now off to New York City. After checking in at the hotel and having them park the car yet again. We headed to Time Square to eat and start sight seeing.
The M & M store was a hit with the kids.
They each fixed their own bags of M&M's.
Rob and Hunter spotted a Lambroghini and had to have a picture.
We took many trips on the subway.
We went to Battery Park to see the Statue of Liberty.
We visted the 9-11 memorial. They are working on the Freedom Towers.
The memorial is beautiful. All the victims names are etched in the metal. It was overwhelming standing there looking at the beautiful waterfall and seeing all the names of the people who went to work on Tuesday, September 11th 2001 not knowing they would never go home.
We decided to meet the Hubers at Central Park. Below you will see the map readers and the relaxers.
