Beantown 2012

Dax and I had the opportunity to visit the Winslow family, Jon, Regina, and Jack, in Boston over Memorial Day weekend.  It was such a treat to catch up with my dear friend and meet her beautiful baby boy, Jack!  I've always loved this historic city and this trip did not disappoint.

Beautiful flowers at the Public Gardens.
Dax and Jack are two weeks apart in age so they where perfectly in stride, toddling along, laughing at incomprehensible jokes, and getting into general mischief.  Their favorite activity was pushing each other back and forth in a toy cart across the room.

Regina and I were mommies on a mission towing the boys around to make sure and soak up what we could during our short visit.  My favorite activity with the boys was a visit to the Boston Children's Museum.  More of an activity center for kids of all ages then a museum we were able to let the boys loose to play, touch, and discover everything within their reach.  A truly amazing facility that I would visit again in a heartbeat.

Favorite room for the boys at the museum was
the Construction room, go figure!
 Dining out, and shopping was a treat I don't normally get to indulge in but Regina and I found the time to do both.  So nice being a girl in the city!
Gorgeous gals :)
Dreams come true in Boston for our little boy as his favorite Fire Truck book came to life when we walked by a station on our way back to the Winslows apartment.  Dax not being shy and pointing madly at the truck was invited to sit in the drivers seat and give it a go.  I think he said "Wow" at least ten times before breaking down in tears when mommy pulled him out.
A firefighter in the works.

 Luckily, we had a much different travel experience on the way home to Idaho then on the way back from Boston.  Throwing up all over mommy and refusing to sleep had me thinking it was a terrible idea to ever leave home.  But a row to ourselves, and a little more experience helped Dax feel comfortable to sleep and dream on the way home.

I think he knew we were headed home to see daddy.  We sure did miss him but are so happy we had the chance to see the Winslow's and look forward to them coming to Idaho!
