So what do you do when it rains without end in the first four days of your time in Boston?

You drape yourself in plastic and do what you were going to do anyway.

You ride trolleys, take tours, and dream about what might have been if the game wasn’t rained out.

You go bowling, hang out in malls, and watch 600 pound turtles eat lettuce

And when all else fails, short of building an ark, you go into a local tavern and in traditional Boston style, drown your sorrows.

Actually, this is the tavern they used in one of my all time favorite movies: “Good Will Hunting”. 

And while we didn’t think it was the best idea to drag our kids inside the local neighborhood watering hole. I did want to go by and see it since it was only about 10 minutes from where we are staying.

Not alot more to tell on the front end of this 2nd part of our trip, except for the fact that we are learning how to make adjustments together as a family when things don’t exactly go the way you thought they might or hoped they would.

The sun will come out tomorrow or so the song goes. But whatever may come our way, we are grateful for the time. This trip has been such a gift…a really, really great gift!
