Boston!

Wow we are finally here. Boston has officially welcomed us here. We drove in and right away had to pay a toll (no surprise) then following the directions we had, right away we were lost. Lucky for us my friend Keli lives here and was home. A quick 30 minute call to her with turn by turn directions and we were finally at our new home for the summer (Cambridge, MA). To say the least our first trip out was to buy a map, and now we can get around pretty well.

We had a fun trip up from our beloved Williamsburg, VA. We drove to Aberdeen, MD where Matt served part of his mission while waiting for his visa. He commented on how weird it was to see it again. It's been 7 years but he still remembered his favorite pizza place. We drove to Philly after a fun (sleepless night) stay at a Perryville, MD hotel. My friend Terra and her family live there so we drove to there house to stay the night. After getting there we found out that they had to attend a funeral and couldn't show us around so Matt and I packed up the girls and off we went to discover the subways and streets of Philly. It wasn't too bad after the subway attendy yelled at us for not using the handi cap door for our stroller right. But we finally made it down to see the Liberty bell among other sites in Philly. Right as we got back to the Drakes home we were rained on so we stayed in the rest of the night.

The next morning we were up and running to get to Boston and not sleep in the same room as our girls (we love them but between McKenna snoring and Lily being such a light sleeper it just didn't work). So there is our story of getting to Boston.
