Boston, Mass.

 We arrived in Boston to some rainy weather.  I noticed that the bar “Cheers” was filmed here for a few episodes and we tried to grab a beer, but it was way too busy.  We did get inside and looked around and took a few photos. That was good enough for the both of us and we headed back to the van where I researched on FB for events happening in the Boston area. The Broadway Musical “Jagged Little Pill” by Alanis Morrisette was playing that night. Of course Bryan got on the computer and tried to find the cheapest tickets, which he did :).  We put our jackets on and walked about a mile to the musical.  We proceeded through the check in and one ticket made it in fine, but the lady was having difficulty with the other one.  She asked us to step aside and got her manager.  The manager asked for Bryan’s ID and left for a short bit.  She came back and told us that we had purchased tickets for the next weekend.  We told her we were from out of town and she directed us to the will call area and wished us luck. The place was packed and we were trying to leave to head to will call., but everyone was coming in and no usher was with us, so Bryan said “let’s just go in”.  I was like “she is watching us” and proceeded to follow him in - partners in crime until the end and it all worked out. We enjoyed the musical and the 2nd half was more spectacular.  The next day was Father’s Day and I surprised Bryan with a walk to a bakery that we as family.  all went to in New York years ago. The place is called Levain Bakery  and if you know you know how great their cookies are.  Bryan really wanted to attend the Boston Red Sox/NY Yankees game.  We scored some tickets and walked about a mile again  to Fenway Park.  I had never been and was quite taken back by the place.  We sat down for about 15 minutes or so and then tried to score better seats. We almost made into the Green Monster section, but security shut us down.  Red Sox won and we wanted to celebrate near by.  The place we stumbled upon was super busy, but made our way to the bar and ordered some beers. There was absolutely no open tables at this time.  We walked past a couple that was sitting at a 4 top and asked if we could share the table.  Turns out the guy was wearing a TCU shirt and hat. They were both alumni’s of TCU. Nice couple and enjoyed talking to them.  We headed back to the van and settled in for the night before our next adventure.

Kingston, NB

After leaving Quebec we had planned on staying in Montreal the next night, but after driving into the city we weren’t feeling like we wanted to try and figure out another large city that wasn’t as cool as Quebec.  We headed southwest further to a smaller community named Kingston in New Brunswick.  We arrived on July 1st which is Canada Day, the same as our 4th of July.  The spot we found on Overlander had a nice bathroom, was right on Lake Ontario, and had a plug which I plugged our UPS battery and also the van into to bring up the charge since we decided to stay 2 nights.  We walked down to the park where the fireworks were going to be let off and first went to a place that was a $20 cover that included a drink with chips and salsa (Pace).  We sat down and waited to see if they could come up with a table for us to sit at.  After waiting for 20 minutes we changed venues to a place that wasn’t as crowded and didn’t have a cover charge.  It was a good fi...

Tavernier Florida - Florida Keys

 We made reservations at the Elks for 2 nights in Tavernier Fl. This was the most expensive Elks so far due to it being right on the beach.  When we arrived we met the host who help us get settled into our spot.  We couldn’t believe the view we had.  They had kayaks to rent, a big dock and a tiki hut. I couldn’t believe how many curly tailed lizards and iguanas were down here - ICK.  I did a pretty good job of getting over my fear of them because literally they were everywhere. That day Bryan took the paddle board out and I was too chicken and took a kayak out in the water.  We saw a nurse shark under the dock, manta ray, and several jelly fish. A couple came in a few hours later and they had a little girl (probably around 7) who soon became my new best friend.  She loved Gus and was super curious that we had a cat in the van. They had karaoke one night and of course I couldn’t resist and sang a couple songs.  Bryan came up with me for one duet. ...
