Mimi's comics

Having Mimi read me the comics is much funnier then reading them myself.  She's subtle, low-key and dry.

The way she describes characters is hilarious and the reasons why things are funny to her are surprising to me.  I NEVER laugh at Beetle Bailey, but I did when she read it.  This is something like what she said, "Mom, did you read the army comic yet?  Someone is pulling all these pranks on the guy with the tooth.  Then they guy with no eyes gets so upset when he gets in trouble!"  


Also, this is my life...

Spring Break Day 4

Still with me?

This is this fun little bridge, no tourists here.  When you stand on this platform you can create a fun echo.  Of course it's been here forever and has a long history, because this town is 300 years old. 


We checked out another old apartment and Yoda refused to get out of the car.  "I'm not participating because I never lived here!"

This apartment was right across the street from a T stop, or subway and an office building.  Greg would just walk to his bus that picked up reverse-commuters that came from Boston and it would take him to his office in Wellesley.  It was the best commute he's ever had!  Now that company is in the office building across the street! That would have been an amazing commute! 
 And of course I have to include an old photo in the same place! 

Boston Common, the public gardens and the Ducklings

 Aaaaand, here's baby Parker visiting the Ducklings back in 2006. 



We spent some time in Newbury Comics.


Mimi was less impressed by the location of the Boston Massacre and more interested in the unicorn on top of the Old State house
It was chilly and the kiddos were getting to the end of their ropes.  We cut short the Freedom Trail, got pastries and sat in the new park over the Big Dig
Waiting for the T back to our car. 


But before the night was over we HAD to go Candle-pin bowling.  Bowling in New England is not like bowling anywhere else!  The ball is smaller, the pins are narrow, and the pins don't get swept away until you roll the ball 3 times, so you can use fallen pins to hit standing pins, and you tell the thingy to sweep the pins away.  SO fun!
