We got back last weekend after a wonderful holiday visiting the Zolper's up in Maine, Chris managed to fit in lots of wakeboarding with Ben at their camp, I completely relaxed being surrounded my good friends who were more than happy to jiggle Henry around and rock him to sleep and the girls loved being centre of attention.
The weather was also perfect as far as we were concerned, about 25 degrees, sunny and cloudy, slight breeze and the occasional rain shower. Henry decided to start sleeping properly and only woke up once a night, so I came back having caught up on lots of sleep.....however back in Houston, and the heat is obviously bothering him because he's back to being up 3 times a night, aaaaaargh!!!!
We spent the second half of the week in Boston as we wanted to spend some time with Carey, Joe and Benjamin, and we wanted to treat ourselves to doing a few touristy things. We all went on the Boston Duck tour on Thursday, which was fun and then the following day went to the aquarium. It'll be fun when the children are older to do a trolley tour in Boston, more like an old tram where you can get on and off and explore different areas. I would have loved doing it this time but the mere thought of getting on and off a bus with 3 children, 2 pushchairs and our bags repeatedly sends my head into a spin! Maybe in 10 years time!
We met Carey at a Boston splashpad on one day too, which was lovely, its obviously the place where mums meet up with each other. I love the fact that Boston and its surrounding suburbs are so walkable and village like, something I really miss when we're here in Houston. Carey also showed us an amazing child friendly restaurant which I would highly recommend to anyone if they go to Boston on holiday. The food was fantastic, the kids play area was brilliant and they even had individual buckets of toys for the children to play with at the table if they were too small for the play area. No one minded children walking around, making a bit of noise...so perfect we ate lunch and dinner there on one day. http://www.fullmoonrestaurant.com/menu.html
I also managed to fit in a tiny bit of shopping and came away from Freeport (retail outlet heaven!) with a lovely dress and 2 tops, although shopping with children is impossible, and I came away slightly disappointed I hadn't got a chance to properly shop. So I'm planning on going back in October with just Henry and spending a weekend shopping with Carey, yay!
Here are a few pictures from the week away:
We've come back here with a bump, but I'll start another post for this weeks events, rather than ruin this entry where nothing went wrong!
