We rode the train in from Plymouth, which was a treat in and of itself for Aidan. Here he is signing train.

Boston is really a beautiful city. It's such mix of old building and new buildings.

We did a TON of walking in Boston. It's a good thing we had our stroller!

We went to lunch at The Black Rose, which is a little Irish pub. It was one of our favorite places to visit when we lived there. It looked exactly the same as it did 17 years ago, which made me feel really young :)
We sat in the only table big enough to seat our whole family. Erin's name (which means Ireland) happened to be just above our table, which was so perfect because it was really Erin who got this whole trip to become reality. If it weren't for the Down Syndrome Convention being in Boston this year, we most likely would not have gone. Yeah Erin!
.... but I don't think she cared. She slept through most of our lunch.
We are finally nearing the end of our vaction pictures. Whew! That's a lot of pictures! I know we would not have had nearly so many memories perserved if it weren't for Moira's busy camera work. It seemed she was clicking pictures wherever we went and I am thankful. There is one event, actually one of the highlights of our trip, which we did not capture on camera. That event was a get together with our dear friends, Bill and Joanne Suneson and their delighful boys, Luke and Gus. Mike went to Marquette with Bill and Joanne and Bill did a reading in our wedding. And of course we had many great times together when we lived in the Boston area. They came over one night and we caught up with each other and we met each other's children in real life for the first time. They are just great, great people and we are thankful that we could get together. Seeing old freinds like the Sunesons seemed to make time stand still, and we miss seeing them more!
