Once Alana got home from school, I took the kids on a surprise adventure. We drove
to the train station and parked, and waited in the cold (thankfully not as cold as it HAD been in the days previous) for the train to arrive. We hopped on and the kids were very well-behaved while we motored into Boston. The woman across the aisle from me appeared to enjoy the kids; she kept smiling at me throughout the ride.
Once we arrived at South Station, Tim met us on the platform. We walked a few blocks away to the Elephant & Castle on Devonshire Street. Very tasty British food. Alana and I each got a chicken pot pie:
Tim got a chicken curry dish with jasmine rice and Noah got a cheeseburger which he devoured:
Food and service were both fantastic, I do recommend the place.
Next, back onto the T for a short trip to the Garden:
The kids were very happy to find out that we were attending Disney on Ice. As soon as they got into the building they were amped. Both were taken by the parent of the same sex to the bathroom so we could avoid those trips later. That done, each kid was allowed to pick out a toy, then we made our way to our seats.
The kids' faces lit up when they saw Donald Duck emerge from behind the curtain, and the smiles just got bigger and bigger throughout the show. Tim and I really enjoyed the Lion King portion of the show, but the kids liked the Cars portion:
They each got some cotton candy, one bag came with a Lighting McQueen hat:
and one with a Tinkerbell hat:
It's safe to say they had a fantastic time. :)
After the show we took the T a few stops back again (very crowded) to South Station and walked over the bridge to reach Tim's car. The ride home was full of nice music and a very happy and somewhat sleepy family.
