Our trip back east

Chad, his parents and myself (no kids) went back to Boston and New york for a little trip, it all started because this is the last year for Yankee stadium. We ended up going to Boston first, and we all had a blast, Chad loves it! We did the normal tourist stuff, our hotel was right downtown so that was awesome. We went to a Red Sox game (the Angels won!) it was so cool to be at Fenway, you can feel the history. We also met up with Heather a couple times. It was so nice to see her. We took the old town trolley tour, walked through Boston Common, did the swan boats (of course) and saw the 'make way for ducklings' statues, did fanuel hall and quincy market, ate REALLY GOOD food the whole time!!! Chad even likes seafood, he ate lobster ravioli and clam chowder. When the kids are older I definately want to take them back, it's just a really fun city to visit. Plus that's where my mom is from so it's a little sentimental for me, remembering things from visiting when I was little.
New York was our next stop. Chad was not impressed, we saw the world trade center site, the statue of liberty, Times square, went to a broadway play (Young Frankenstien), perfected the subway, went to soho (which was my favorite part), again we ate really good food (the pizza is so good). We went to the FDNY museum which was pretty cool. We also ate a restaurant called Mickey Mantles (Chad's dad is a mantle fan). But once you do all the tourist stuff really all there is to do is eat, shop, eat, and shop; so for people on a budget (like us) not the best place to be. Oh, the whole reason we went...We went to yankee stadium (the Angels won!) and we were not impressed at all, it's nothing like Fenway, just very generic, no real charm or character.

All in all our trip was fun, and we enjoyed ourselves...except for our flight back (to Seattle to visit my mom).
