NY Invasion

Many of the kids are sad to be leaving New York this morning. We packed the past couple of days with numerous adventures around the city. My group of boys even did some bartering for some bling that they proudly wore to a nice dinner and a Broadway show, The Addam's Family. The picture with me in it is after the play with my two favorite librarians that I work with. Off to Philly.

Freedom Trail

Yesterday was packed mostly exploring the American Revolution. Started out the day with Lexington and Concord, lunch at Quincy for the Boston Special (lobster roll and chowda), and the afternoon exploring the significance of sites on the Freedom Trail. Headed to New York now!

Boston Invasion

Our first night went very well. Kids appeared to be alert and excited this morning at breakfast. The travel, time change and excitment is bound to take its toll at some point today. Dinner last night was exactly what I've been craving - clams, mussels, scallops, and shrimp, oh my!
Today, our focus is the American Revolution with tours of the Freedom Trail, Lexington and Concord, and Harvard (part of the smaaaart revolution).
