Boston - 29th Sept

Sadly we woke up to another rainy and grey day with Aidan's parents feeling a bit under the weather and Liam was fighting a bit of a tummy bug as well.  We tried not to let that keep us indoors. The day eventually cleared up so that was good. We started with visits to Home Depot, Lowes and Target but we didn't find anything that we had been looking for. We then headed to Babson for me to get a few things from the bookstore. After that we drove through a residential neighborhood to see some of the fall foliage. We dropped Aidan's parents off at the Museum of Fine Arts and headed into Brookline for a few hours.

We parked near the library and walked to Pizza Dante for lunch. We then visited a speciality pet shop and Liam played with the owner's 3 dogs. We began to head back to the car but stopped in at Magic Beans first. Liam was into everything but when he got into the play area he decided that he wanted to sit in the kid armchair... crazy! We walked back to the car and Liam wanted to go to the library because he could see the kids reading in the window nooks as we walked past.

We picked up Aidan's parents and headed for the Natick Mall. It was a bit busy and therefore perhaps a little overwhelming for our group. Aidan's parents had lunch at Deangelo's and then we split up to shop. We managed to get Liam's outfit for his school pictures and grey pants for the winter/his Hallowe'en costume. We also got his feet measured at Striderite (5.5). Liam ended up with a bad dinner (chicken nuggets) but that's only one day out of a week away!

Our lovely sitter arrived around 7pm and we headed into Boston. The Wang Theatre was lovely. I can't believe how long it has been since I had last been there. Idina Menzel's show was good. She wore a lovely strapless ballgown with bare feet and told stories between songs. I enjoyed many of the songs and the concert flew by. I am glad that we got to attend.
