Traffic Congestion - A good thing!

In May, the traffic to get in and out of Boston seemed to increase 10 fold. In case you are not aware of our schedule, on Friday afternoon's Grandma drives in with the boys, picks me up and then I drop Grandma off at the airport. Then, we head home. On good days this takes an hour and on bad days you just never know. I am lucky enough to have two boys who are fantastic in the car and are very patient with their mother. Back to May - we decided to try to break up the boys long car ride by going to Brian's office after dropping off Grandma. The boys were so excited for the change of pace. We walked along the new Greenway. There is even a carousel in the middle of the Greenway and the boys couldn't wait to ride.

We then ventured into old territory, Faniuel Hall, to try to jog Connor's memory of when he lived in Boston. First stop, the balloon lady who made us a dog and an airplane. The kids ran around with their balloons and had a blast.

We stopped and had a bite to eat. Then, we headed back to the car to finish off our trip. Since this change of pace was such a huge hit, I think we will keep it up for a few weeks until it is summer traffic time.
