Boston, Day 1:

Hi! Well, we are just winding down after a wonderful day. When we woke up, we ordered breakfast from room service, ate it up and then headed to the hotel pool. It was so nice to just spend the morning together, not worrying about a schedule. We swam until noon, Lance and LJ hopping from the pool to the hot tub so much that LJ's legs were wobbly by the end of the morning! After swimming, we came home, showered and headed down to the mall, connected to the hotel, for lunch. We ate food from the food court outside and then headed upstairs to give LJ a little milk and put him down for a nap.
When he went down for a nap, so did we! What a great thing -- Lance didn't have to go ANYWHERE! When LJ woke up, it wasn't enough sleep, so we pulled him in the bed with us and slept some more.
When we woke up, we got dressed and headed back downstairs. Lance wanted to go to the Apple store across the street, so we did that and let LJ play outside before heading to dinner in the mall. We ate at a great little seafood place -- LJ polished off almost all his popcorn shrimp, fries and grapes while Lance ate his big appetizer sampler and I enjoyed stuffed shrimp.
After that, we let LJ run alongside us as we walked to the nearest grocer. All you have to do is say, "LJ, do you want to go in your stroller?" He'll say, "no", and you say, "well, then stay by mommy". He remembers this for a bit and stays close before you have to do it all over again. Needless to say, it is good exercise for all of us, but the boy deserves to be able to run!
After the grocery store, we walked around -- me sipping a godiva hot chocolate and Lance enjoying some ice cream. LJ doesn't like those sweets too much, so he just ran around the mall and we pretty much followed him.
Now, he's taking a bath and we're not going to be far behind him in going to bed. It has been a WONDERFUL day. I can't even say -- just being together is amazing. I hope your day was wonderful, too. I tried to upload some pics, but it didn't work on this computer. I'll make a photoshow when we get home -- I already have some really good ones!
Love,
Jamie
P.S. We can see Fenway park from our hotel room :)
