Off to Boston...

12/21 Wednesday, It was Mom’s birthday though I forgot to wish her until later that day. Kassie and I didn’t get up until like 11 or something and then got ready to go into Boston for a day of shopping and exploring. Jake was being terrible and was left at home. Mom and Dad tried to help us by dropping us off at the train but it wasn’t coming soon so we ended up walking back to the T station at Riverside. We boarded and talked to a girl behind us about where to get off to go to Newbury (Newberry?) Street. We finally got off and started down the street and hit Louis Boston first and we just weren’t good enough to be in there, that’s how the staff felt I think. We went to go get something to eat and warm up and stopped at a little café and sat next to some Italian guys. Then we went to Marc Jacobs and some little boutiques where I should have bought some stuff cause it was so on sale. Oh well. Got some stuff for Adrian and then headed home and talked with Uncle David about how to make it to the train station and which one to get on. So we did that and talked to a guy on the train about where we were supposed to get off, and then walked in the freezing ass cold back to our little house. We weren’t there long before we headed off to Uncle David’s for Mom’s birthday dinner. Pam, Jerry and Amelia were also there and we had a very good dinner and a nice cake. Adrian’s just the cutest little baby ever, there is just no comparison. It was getting late so we headed back and stayed up late playing on the computer and talking on the phone with our respective Seattle-ites.

12/20 Tuesday, I had to be at Mom’s super early so B and I both got up and moving and I was there by 7:45 or something and we headed off to the airport. Jake was a little irritating, though it could have been worse. We flew first class so that was really nice. We got these things called DigEPaks that have a lot of movies and tv shows programmed on them, so I spent my time watching Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Arrested Development. Kassie pretty much slept the whole time. Food was pretty bad except for the warm nut mix. Oh yeah, warm nuts. Ha! Ok, so we finally land and Uncle David is there to pick us up, so we get our luggage and head back to his house in Newton. It is a really beautiful house and there were like 5 pizzas there waiting for us (this was like the 4th day in a row I’d had pizza) but it was delicious. The pieces were so huge though that I could only eat 2. Dad and Alix finally got home and we headed to the Walker Center to our house for the next 4 days. 4 bedrooms, 1.5 bath and all of the other amenities, it was cute but a little funky and outdated. So Kassie and I were bunking together and we usually stayed up pretty late which made adjusting when we got home that much easier. Jake whined the whole night and Dad was trying to find him a flight home cause he was so irritating.

12/19 Monday, B came over cause I was going to be leaving on Tuesday. We went out to "Extreme Pizza" and then just hung out, I packed and we went to bed.
