Boston Pilgrimage

It is 9:15 pm the night before the surgery and we are in Boston, in a hotel for the night.  Our original housing option just didn't work so well - we'll leave it at that.

What a day!!  Got all packed and did some shopping at the outlets in Tilton, NH, but I didn't really lose my shirt on all the loot we got because it was all like 40% off - so think how much money I saved.  Doesn't matter - Sarah got some cool stuff and she was psyched!

We got to our patient housing, the House on Autumn, and it was more like a dorm than a hotel, was noisy (lots of babies) and just was not comfortable.  Sarah was not comfortable - so we went to dinner at Bertouchies and parked the car for the week in the Hospital garage.

At dinner, we ordered WAY too much and Sarah ate like a queen.  Funny, it is all patients and families and medical staff.  All was good, but we got looking at hotels on my phone and Sarah found a gem of a place, Longwood Inn, right next to the hospital.  Real rooms with private bathrooms, and Sarah said, "Dad, please can we stay there?!?!?!"  Yes.  So we finish up, walk up to the hotel, get a room and I walk to our other housing to retrieve some belongings for the night.  So we have an extra room for the week...
