Drownded Rats.

Sometimes, stuff happens. Call it what you will. We all know what I'm talking about. And life happens. But sometimes that's okay (:

We've been out of town since Monday, my dad and I. We flew into Boston International and then drove an hour or so up to Portsmouth, NH. We drove along the coast through Maine a little bit, got some of the BEST ice cream IN THE WORLD in Kittery, ME. Checked into our hotel and spent the night on a private beach. We then drove down to Salem, MA and ate lunch at the Seaport Cafe. BEST Clam Chowder.... and I've had a lot of chowder (Chow - daaaaaa) in my life. Dad says I've always talked like I'm a mix between a Michigan Native and a New England Convert. Don't worry, I have no idea what that means either.

We then checked into our hotel in Boston, right on the waterfront. We went to the airport to return our rental car, since we didn't need it in Boston, and then took the water taxi back to our hotel. We went and ate dinner and desert in the lounge, watched AGT, and w ate breakfast, then stuck around our hotel until noon for the Blue Angels Air Show.. AWESOME. Saw the USS Constitution. Ate lunch down the street while the Angels were still flyinext we went down to the Museum of Science where our Duck Tour was departing from. We took an eighty minute tour, and it was SO great. Favorite part of the trip so far.

We came back for dinner at the lounge and then took a little nap because I was SOOO tired. We then went down to the Harbor (haaabaaaaar) to see the fireworks. We got up on the Lincoln Street Bridge and were there for about an hour when we were evacuated off the bridge because of lightning stroms. We then decided to go back to our hotel and just watch the fireworks on TV. We then found we could watch the fireworks from our hotel window, so we watched those with the music on the TV program in the background. It was SOO great. Right as the fireworks started, it began POURING rain. SOOO cool. I was glad we were inside, but after the fireworks I made my dad go outside with me to stand in it and smell it - Summer rain is the BEST.

We are moving on to CT and RI tomorrow. Then fly to GA on Sunday. Update you more later- Happy Birthday AMERICA!!!
