We started our day with an early wake-up call, showers and breakfast then on the road. We want to make it to Dr. Seuss' garden before it closes, we are hoping to make it by 2, but with the traffic in the northeast - who knows?? For most of the morning we had Garmin and Siri giving directions. We did NOT want to go through NYC, not that we don't like the city, we just have places to go!
We arrived at Dr. Seuss's garden about 2:00, had a little lunch and then went to the garden. This garden is part of a museum complex. The garden, that sat between 4 buildings was fun! We were greeted by the Lorax and then went on to see a large reproduction of the book Oh, The Places You'll Go. We took turns sitting in the chair and having our pictures taken. Then off to visit the huge Dr. Seuss sculpture. It did not take us long to view the entire garden, we were not entirely sad about that as it was HOT.
Back in the car to our final destination - Boston! A trip that should have taken about 90 minutes took over 2 hours. Geez, the traffic is going to kill us! We finally reached the hotel (conveniently located next to a Circle K!). Our room was not quite ready so we were given a free appetizer while we waited. Finally our room was ready and we get there only to find out that Katie had popped a bracket on her braces. Funny, the hotel does not provide wax or wire clippers! Aunt Amy had to take a one hour tour to go in search of the needed items to begin our newest adventure. While Katie was suffering in silence and Aunt Amy was shopping, Jessica and Aunt Becky went to the pool, which is a walk down the street. We swam for a little while and then returned to the room where we had to perform minor surgery on Katie - see today's video for the hilarious events that ensued.
Tomorrow is our walking tour of Boston and a visit to Harvard.
To our loyal Brown Girl Followers, we wish you a good night - don't forget to brush your teeth.
There is nothing dull in your travels : in-house brace repair, traffic (snailing),sights ,and all the in-betweens. Love all the inclusive details.
