Well, we made it to Boston after a never ending drive across half the country. It was very clear to me why we usually drive through the night on long trips. The kids did pretty well and were good sports, but it was long for all of us.
This is going to be our home/neighborhood for the next 2 years. It is a very nice area, and all the neighbors have been very welcoming. After leaving Columbia in 100 degree weather, it felt like spring when we got here. It promptly rained for 3 days straight, but now it is very nice and we are appreciating a pleasant summer despite the reality of a long winter.
After weeks of preparing for the move and several days of unpacking we headed out to the Children's museum for a break from the monotony. While this is my first experience actually living in a large city, the driving has not been as dreadful as I expected. I do spend a lot of time making up for wrong turns, but at least everyone around me is quite calm. There have been a few times when I thought I might chuck the lady in my GPS out the window. So far she has proven to be indespensible, a little nerve racking mind you, but there is no way I could live here without her constant barrage of directions.
