Visit to Boston AND our 100th Post! Wow!

Thursday morning, we rose at 4 am to get ready to head to the airport. Amedeo was thrilled to be getting up at that time. As soon as we woke him up, he was super happy. Here are Poppy and Amedeo watching the airplanes. The airport is a great place for a little boy to hang out. He didn't mind waiting at all.

We flew Delta and I think I should mention a little incident...hee hee...We got on the WRONG airplane! They scanned our boarding passes, we walked down the flight of stairs, checked our giant carseat and stroller, and then got in the little bitty plane. We settled down in our seats. Pietro went to the bathroom. As he was coming out, the stewardess made the announcement, "If you are NOT going to New York, then this is not your plane." HOLY COW! We booked it off the plane and charged back into the terminal. Apparently with Delta, you can get on any old plane that takes your fancy, no matter what your ticket says. And, lest you think that we're a little on the slow side to be getting on the wrong plane...we were not the only ones who got the wrong airplane. Another lady did the same thing.

Once we were seated on the correct flight, everything went smoothly. Amedeo slept for the whole flight. I wish we had a flight simulator in his room for naptimes.


Here we are in Boston! We were visiting Pietro's second cousin, Fabiola, her husband Mattia, and their son, Leonardo, and ity bitty daughter, Luna. They are in Boston for about 4 months for Mattia's work. Right away, they took us to a park with a lake. We had Amedeo's swimsuit, but didn't know to bring our suits, so we enjoyed the sand and a little wading. It was a very nice day and the beach was a huge hit for our sand loving fellows, Amedeo and Leo.




The sign on the back of the lifeguard chair says, "No Lifeguard on Duty." Hmmm. Then who is that sitting on the chair? Is it an existential comment about life, or just something the lawyers thought would be a good idea to post?



Fabiola and Luna. Luna is 14 weeks old and a super calm little girl. She always had lots of smiles for us...can't wait to see more pictures of her in the future!



Amedeo was perplexed as to why he couldn't lift this rock out of the water. I found this to be very amusing!



Here is Pietro and Leo relaxing in the apartment after a long day. The two of them really hit it off...I think Leo recognized the little kid inside of Pietro.


Next...Day 2 in Boston!
