  • Look at the Fun we had at the Boston Marathon!

    What he did – It was a cool morning for the Boston Marathon. Stephen was up and out the door by 5:45 in order to get on the T and get on the charter bus to the start line. What I did – Since I was training for a half marathon, I got up and did a 7 mile “long run” from our place along the Charles River Esplanades.

I mean, if you’re STAYING in Little Italy and you DON’T have gelato, you could be breaking an important Boston law. The Quest before the Quest Before embarking on our ultimate quest, we had to take care of some things first. Pack up our room and stash our luggage Climb the 294 steps of the Bunker Hill Monument As you may remember from our tip on our first day, we discovered the Monument is closed for…
