We went on an airplane
We recently took a trip to the east coast. Specifically Boston and Connecticut. As a family we'd never all flown together and our collective total of hours airborne are fairly low. Our reasons for not regularly taking to the skies are part anxiety, part loving routine and part being homebodies. However, we knew we wanted to branch out.
So we did.
take offs
landings
Our room had a great view of the hotel bar which Serena and I went to for exactly one drink. The person at the entrance routinely told incoming people that there were no tables available and the whole time we were there there were empty tables. Roof top bar life is confusing.
The local trash policy.
I always love looking at graffiti and thinking about how the artist(s) got there.
It was at this point Silas seemed a bit touch and go. Don't worry. He rallied.
the maparium is incredible
the maparium bathroom lobby is also incredible
these seats are incredible!
this hat is incredi... ok this is now dumb...
Kenley Jansen is my favorite pitcher of all time... and I give zero shits about professional sports.

rooftop pano
name a cooler crew... I'll wait
Serena took it down to Cactus Canyon
Only to be interrupted by some nefarious robots.
We then headed out to rural Connecticut in order to reset
and I took this photo that I feel belongs on the album cover of a late 90's emo band.
The boys frollicked
My aunt in law (is that how you say it?) has the raddest shirt of all time.
I have no need for this switch in my house but I just might install one.
An incredible tree house where if I remember correctly Maurice Sendak may have slept in at one point.
Undoubtedly this sign was installed on 9/12/2001.
Pretty cute.
A Clean, Well-Lighted Place.
River time
Back to Boston to check out Serena's church.
I loved this Edward Munch painting. It kind of reminded me of the the album cover for Destroyer's "Trouble In Dreams" even though it actually looks quite different.
Our accommodations for the final night.
It was a great trip. Everyone held it together really great. Upon returning we discovered that Silas had brought like 8 pounds of books in his backpack. We're still learning to how to be jetsetters.
