Day 2 of Vacation - Lorne turns 38 and we tour Boston!

We drove up to Boston after picking Lorne up from his business meeting (after we went to the Crayola Factory) so that we could spend the night at the Richter home and spend a day touring around Boston. It also happened to be Lorne's birthday so we wanted to celebrate that too!We went to the heart of downtown Boston and had lunch at Cheers - where everybody knows your name! It was really good. We ordered him a massive Boston Cream Pie for dessert - when in Boston...and it was delicious and festive.We then took a bus tour of Boston - we felt it would be the best and fastest way to see as much of Boston as possible in one day. We had been there before but we wanted Jan to see the city. We got off at one stop and walked for a bit.One of my favorite gardens is in Boston - Public Garden. It has the statues of the ducks and also it is featured in a beautiful scene in the original Parent Trap and I have always wanted to have a picnic there on a spring day - one day this may happen but today it was rainy and we didn't have time to linger too long.Our bus drove us past the State house at the end of the tour and that is where our Tia Laura works. I showed Jasmine and she seemed impressed.We had dinner at a very delicious and nice Chinese restaurant and then we drove a couple of hours up to New Hampshire and settled everyone in for the night.
