We
ll here we go on our family vacation to Boston. Mind you we made no reservations for a hotel. I worked the weekend and checked out a couple hotel addresses and wrote them down "just in case". We made good time-4 hours and got into the city about three o'clock. Now to look for a hotel. If you've ever been to Boston, the main highway is in the tunnel. So we kept passing the city cause we were always underground. Tensions got quiet high in the car. So I pulled out my trustee hotel addresses and we ended up miles away from downtown Boston but an available room with a pool. It ended up being a dumpy hotel. The toilet clogged up in the morning and when I went to call the front desk the phone kept hanging up. The positive was the restaraunt next door had great cod cakes. So we packed up and drove into the city and parked the car. To tour the city you can walk the freedom trail or trolley around and stop where ever you want within its route, which are most of the historical sites. We went to Paul Revere's house and passed the old north church and then to the USS Constitution. Andrew's favorite stop was the Garden where the Boston Celtics play as well as the Bruins. We took a tour inside and they also have a museum as well. The later part of the day we were by the public gardens and park. Stopped in a couple of hotels to see if they had an available room, yeah for $379/night. The day wasn' t looking good at all for a place to stay in the city. We went back to Quincy Market and walked around. Had a drink at " Cheers" walked some more and thank God we found a hotel two blocks from the Market -The Hilton .
Slightly cheaper and a whole much cleaner, nicer then the Ramada. The next day we went to the Aquarium and then went whale watching. That was cool. We saw 7 sperm whales all together. The trip took four hours. We ended up staying another night to relax and had a fun dinner at the market called Dicks Last Resort. You have to be rude. The waitresses are. They make hats and write funny things on them and surprise you as they put it on your head. There's a picture of James and Andrew eating Peanut Butter Pie at the restaraunt.
