We are back after our "road trip' to Boston. On the way down we discovered the Bangor Shopping Malls! All the shops needed to satisfy the 'retail starved' Girls (and I enjoyed it too). So we stopped over in Bangor Maine on Friday night and continued the drive down to Boston on Saturday, arriving at 6pm. Total drive time of about 8.5 hours.

Boston in November is a pretty chilly place, even with the sun shining, we walked around the central park and gardens .... brrr .  We visited the Boston Aquarium on Sunday. It was well worth the visit, some great aquarium exhibits, but a trifle pricey for only 4 hours of entertainment ($80). Gemma took lots of photos so here are a few to enthrall you.

Beautiful Jellyfish eh?

This is a poisonous Lion Fish (I believe)

Finally Myrtle the 500lb Turtle!

Monday was more sight seeing around the Natural History Musuem with the same number of photos of Dead things. Some more dead than others, below is the skull of a Triceratops

Then finally that Monday evening something slightly younger in the form of Tina Turner  She put on a fantastic show and the girls had a great time (Tina still turns heads and has an 'attitude' ). We all really enjoyed her show and she was professional and in amazing shape for a veteran of the music industry.

Final photo from the concert.

We are all home and back into the work groove,k with Gemma looking forward to leaving us for the UK later next week. Ah well at least I will not have to drive her into the early morning shifts, plus we should have more milk about.

It snowed today and tomorrow we have -10c with windchill forecasted. It looks like Home Depot have not been able to provide me with the ordered snowblower.Something about supplier failure and first come first served.... I better sharpen the shovels and get the girls on some advanced snow shovelling training.
