Well, we got home with no problems. Samantha felt better after the zofran, was tired of course, but did great. [And, surprisingly, no one else got sick!] Everyone was elated to be in their own bed again. Everyone agreed that our trip to Boston was great.

I asked the kids what they enjoyed most about the trip, what they learned, or what they wanted to remember for a long time. Here were their responses:

Josie: the Museum of Science, the Museum of Fine Arts, Finagle a Bagel, and the history of Paul Revere and his sidekick William Dawes.

Mitch: the Dinosaurs! 3-D movie at the Museum of Science, the subway, the Museum of Fine Arts (all of it), and the plane rides.

Samantha: the little tamarin monkeys (at the Museum of Science), the swimming pool at the hotel, the train (subway), the plane, the connections, the reptile section (of the Museum of Science), the 3D Dinosaurs! movie (also at the science museum), Biscoffs (cookies on the plane), Finagle a Bagel, seeing Alphonso (a friend of Bill's from grad school at Ole Miss who was also at the conference), eating lunch and dinner, sleeping, all the food we had, meeting Matthew (the person in the seat next to me on the Cincinnati-Boston flight coming in), the fat squirrels (in the Public Garden), the park (the Public Garden), the "Make Way For Ducklings" monument in the Public Garden, and coming home.

How awesome is that?! I am biased, of course, but I think my kids are pretty great. I hope we can go somewhere new every year - they learn so much that we can't teach them at home. And the memories will last a lifetime.
