Finally the day has arrived for our trip to Boston and on to Spain. We started out at 7 am on Tuesday, April 29. Marty Kearl picked us up and took us to the airport. His work is only 5 miles from the airport, so it worked out for him to do that. As we were waiting, Bonnie remembered she had left her coat in Marty's car. So we called Marty and he was a good sport and brought it back. As a result, we were the last to get on the plane. But there was a good downside to this--the exit row seats were open and since we were the last ones to board, we snagged them! The leg room was awesome! And the seats reclined, so we lucked out.
We had a 3 1/2 hour layover in Minneapolis, so we took a train over to the Mall of America. It was great--but that time sure went by quickly. We ate lunch at Bubba Gump Shrimp.
Jeff left to go running so I'll take over now:
They ask you trivia at the restaurant so here goes, do you know who Forrest's 3 best friends were. Easy huh, how about, where was Forrest shot? What did he say the best thing about getting shot there was? We decided we need to watch that classic again! It's the only restaurant created from a movie and it's fun to go once in awhile.
We hurried back to the airport only to find our plane had been delayed. Oh well, we managed to pass the time and soon we were here in Boston. It was great to see Josh, Julie and Colby again and we're loving our time here.
Yesterday Jeff and I went to the temple and did some volunteer work - me in the laundry and Jeff in the kitchen. It was a nice way to pass an afternoon! Afterwards Josh treated us to a Red Sox game - his way to pay Jeff for doing his taxes. It was fun to see the players in person that we had watched on TV when they were in the world series. David Ortiz hit a home run and they won 2 to 1. It was really exciting to see Fenway Park in person and we had a great time. Colby was really good and said afterwards "that was a great, good show!" He is soooo cute! It was really cold so we bundled up well, but still shivered throughout the game as it was only in the 40's.
