Boston Strong

We decided late in the week that we'd take a little day trip up to Boston today. Unfortunately, Brennan woke up with a horrible cough and a snotty nose (I cannot keep that boy well for the life of me), but we decided to head on up anyways. The boys did great in the car. It took us exactly 1.5 hours and we parked for free at the Coast Guard Base in Boston. Parking there gave us about a 25 minute walk to the Boston's Children's Museum, our first stop for the day. We were pleasantly surprised upon checking in there that they were running a promotion and because we're military we all got in free (tickets are normally $14/person!).

Here are a few pictures as we headed to the museum.

And some pictures from the museum itself. Brennan's favorite part was this room with lots of golf balls you could roll down all sorts of ramps. We started and ended our time at the museum there!

The bubble room was a big hit too!

It wasn't long before the littlest dude was fast asleep on Momma.

Brennan found Kentucky on the map all by himself!

Brennan helped out a local college student by answering some questions about how people were feeling.

And of course he liked playing in the water.

After the museum, we walked a little more and grabbed lunch at a food court at the Amtrak's South Station. Brennan was still coughing up a storm and it was pretty windy outside, so we decided it was just time to head back home. When we made it back to the car, we decided since we were so close to Chick-fil-a, we should just head there. Brennan had fun playing at the mall's play place and Kyle enjoyed some Chick-fil-a. Then we drove back home and the boys were excellent in the car again! Bryce slept almost the entire ride and Brennan even slept for 30 minutes. We weren't in the city very long today, but since we parked for free and got into the museum fore free, it was certainly worth the trip! I definitely want to go back to Boston when it's a little warmer and Brennan is feeling better.

Both boys are in bed now and I'm praying Brennan sleeps well and feels better in the morning.
