"Toto, I've a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore." That is how I felt as we traveled into Boston. From the American Girl store, we drove through the outskirts of Boston into downtown. Rabbit (our GPS) decided not to take us the highway and so we saw some beautiful neighborhoods on our way to downtown. There were people everywhere. Walking, biking, riding trolley's. Rabbit took us the wrong way at first (he gets confused in big cities) but we finally found the Marriott. Our hotel (thank you so much Mom!!) was huge! 38 floors!! And only 2-3 blocks from the finish line of the Marathon. It was a little confusing figuring out the parking and we ended up doing it backward. We parked, checked in, went to our room, and then went back for our luggage in the parking garage. Oh, and we got lost after getting out of the elevator in the parking garage and had to walk through the attached mall with some of our luggage to even find the hotel lobby. We should have unloaded all the luggage and then parked. :p Now we know. Our room was on the 23rd floor. Crazy! Our plan was to attend the Expo and pick up Dan's bib number after checking into the hotel. Unfortunately, I had the spot of the Expo wrong and it was not within walking distance. By this time it was 6pm and the Expo closed at 7pm. I wanted Dan to have plenty of time to walk around and look at the Expo (I know how much fun those conventions can be...I love the homeschool one), so we decided to wait until Sunday morning to go pick up his bib number. We decided to get out and walk around a bit and get some dinner. People in the city walk different. You don't stop and say "sorry" or "excuse me" if you bump into someone, you just keep going. It took a couple days for me to get that. :) And while I was looking out for anything and everything because we were in a big city, people were walking by me very unconcerned going about their normal daily life. Boston didn't see so scary, just very overwhelming for a country girl like me :)
