Boston

After saying goodbye, we headed back to the hotel to dry off and change our wet clothes.  When we headed back out to the car, it would not start.  It wasn't the best timing, but what if it had been that morning?  The 800 number for the rental car company was a horrible experience.  Fortunately, the local location was very helpful.  We go the car changed out and enjoyed dinner in Mystic.  I know we will be up there more and I look forward to getting to know the area.
The next day, we headed in to Boston.  We were so lucky.  We found a metered parking spot right on the street.  Who does that?  We did a walk through of Faneuil Hall and listened to a Ranger.
 We made our way down to Boston Commons.
We got tickets to Blue Man Group and had some time to kill.  We walked around some more.  This is the hotel that the Big Guy and I stayed at the last time we were in Boston.  It was pre-kids, many years ago.
We grabbed an iced tea from Dunkin Donuts.  It was great iced tea.  There is a DD on every corner in Boston.  We were thrilled to find a place to get our tea fix!

Pumpkin has been to Blue Man Group three times in three different cities.  He wasn't sure we'd enjoy it.  He was wrong.  We thoroughly enjoyed it.  We all laughed.  What a great show on such a simple premise.  We were grateful for the time to relax.
After the show, we grabbed appetizers at P F Chang's.  We don't normally hit the chain places.  This trip was different.  We were mentally spent and went with the flow.  Again, we had so much fun trying a few appetizers.  Peanut loved it too.  It was quite chilly that night.  Little did we know the heat was coming...

You are definitely a Southerner with your ice tea love! It's great that you could enjoy some sight-seeing too while you were there. There is a slight possibility that we could call Boston home in a couple years too!
