Boston Bound...the preview

So the rumors are true, we are moving to Boston. It happened so quickly that we haven't really had time to take it in, let alone blog about it. Brad's new employer, Arnold Worldwide, called him up about a month ago and asked if they could fly him out for an "interview" and let him check out their studio. He thought it sounded fun, so he went. We in no way thought it would lead to anything...but here we are, moving to Boston. Basically, they gave us an offer we couldn't refuse (plus we always like a new adventure). 
Last week, Arnold Worldwide flew is all out from 4 days to check out the city and find housing. I LOVE BOSTON! It is beautiful and so much fun, culture, and history all in one city. We are really excited for this move and we found a beautiful townhome in a community called Brookline right outside of the city. There are cobblestone streets, trees everywhere, sailboats in the harbor, and cathedrals everywhere you look. Seriously, amazing. The offer is open for anyone who wants to come visit! 

 I tried lobster for the first time. It was good but scary and way to "full-animal-staring-at-you" for me. 
 Kai snuggled in the sling a lot...oh, to be a baby
 This is the public gardens in the center of the city

 The hotel staff arranged Kai's stuffed animals all cute for us..too funny

 Another cathedral right downtown
 The hotel gave Kai this lobster that is as big as him, we named him Lenox after the hotel
 Welcome to Boston, our new home
Kai's first plan ride

Side note: Kai did so well on the plane. The first take-off he actually smiled and giggled a little. He slept on landing and then on take-off of the next flight too. He just played and slept pretty much the whole time and everyone around him thought he was so cute and well behaved. Then came the last flight. Luckily it was only an hour from Phoenix to OC because he screamed the entire time. He refused to eat, he refused to sleep, he just did a pained scream for an hour. It was so sad. But hey, of two 5.5 hour flights and two 1 hour flights if he only screamed for an hour total, I can't complain. Success.
