So a few weeks ago in the gloom of winter I decided to plan a fun adventure. The kids wanted to go to Philadelphia because we went there a couple of years ago, but I thought we'd try something new and also explore some places that we can go to on day-trips if we like them.
So we stayed at the Seaport Hotel and went to the Boston Children's Museum, the New England Aquarium, and the Lego Discovery Center.
The kids had a great time!
They liked that the hotel had a pool. They went on their first taxi ride, which they were excited about. We ate in different places - room service one night (which was their favorite), Fanueil Hall, and a Mexican restaurant in the city (our only fail - it was "real" Mexican food. I'll stick with Taco Bell, thanks).
We got to go to Outback Steakhouse for lunch and get a Bloomin' Onion, so I was happy.
I think a good time was had by all. It was a great little weekend adventure!!

| Evan had fun using his new full-face snorkel in the hotel pool |
 |
| At the Mexican restaurant. That's water in the bottle on the table, although by the end, I was wishing it was tequila. The kids were very good sports though, despite the weird food and slow service. |

| Creating their own virtual figurines at the Lego Discovery Center |
 |
| In the 4D movie, which is just a 3D movie but they spray water and blow wind on you. Was still fun though! |
 |
| Evan took this picture. It's got the Bloomin' Onion in it (oh yeah, and Dad and Emma too) so it's a keeper |
