Boston Babe!


Our Internet has been down for several weeks at the house, so I apologize for my laxed blogging lately, but we are up and running again and I am back with avengance reporting on my favorite 3 1/2 month old! At the end of June, Chad, Evie and I took a trip out to Boston and Cape Cod for nearly a week. We had a great time and I am happy to report that my darling daughter was NOT the nosiest gal on the plane ride! A fellow passenger even commented on our way to baggage claim that Evie was, and I quote, "the best baby I have ever traveled with!" Chad and I were such proud parents!


The best part of our trip was being able to introduce Evie to her Uncle Marc. Chad's older brother moved to Boston last year and had not had a chance to meet his favorite (and only) niece yet. We loved watching them spend time together (what a great break not having to pick out her wardrobe everyday and who knew there were so many versus to "Evie Had a Little Lamb"?) and so fun to have a tour guide show us around the Boston area and out to the Cape. The weather was not ideal, but Evie not only took her first plane ride, but also took her first "dip" in the ocean! She was so curious about the sand and cold water and it was fun to see her enjoying the waves washing up on her teeny, tiny feet! Each night, we strolled her down to the ice cream shop to have some ice cream and she was a trooper while we shopped at all the niche little boutiques along the Cape.

In my college Children's Literature class, one of the first books we read about was Make Way for Ducklings, a classic in children's literature. Aside from Evie and Marc meeting, the other highlight of our trip was taking Evie to the park in which the story took place and letting her sit on the ducklings statue erected in honor of this great story! I bought her the book while we were out there and it was so fun to re-read it after going to the actual park and recognizing all of the places we saw! I love the book even more now and am excited to show pictures of Evie at the park when she is older! We also enjoyed the actual Cheers bar, Plymouth Rock, The Freedom Trail, a Red Sox game, the pier and a whole lot of clam chowdah!
