In mid September Marilyn and I set off to Boston for a mini vacation. Vacation for me and trai
ning for Marilyn. Marilyn attended training at Simmons College in Boston for the entire week, from 8AM until 8 PM. While I went off and did the sightseeing thing on my own. I bought a three day pass on the Boston Trolley and that allowed me to hop on and off at about 20 different stops, plus admission into different historic buildings and museums. I crammed as much as I possibly could into those four days. There's just so much history there and so little time, you could easily spend several weeks there touring all the different spots.
On Friday I rented a rental car and off to Rhode Island we went to visit Wanda and Paul. They have a lovely home about and hour and a half from Boston. It rained the whole trip down there but the scenery was still lovely. It was nice to be in a home again instead of a big hotel. Saturday Wanda and Paul took out sight seeing in the rain. Hurricane Kyle was moving up the east coast about 80 miles off shore heading towards Maine. So we were just getting the rain. We had a great day.
The next day it was off to Newport to see the mansions and beautiful sailboats. We did manage tour the "Breakers" that was an awesome home and to think they only used it 2 months in the summer. What a waste of a beautiful home. But when you have money I guess it doesn't matter.
We had a great visit with Wanda and Paul and on Monday we set out back to Boston to fly home on Tuesday. A quick trip but well worth it. The fall leaves were just starting to turn and everything was beautiful and green, not brown and dry like California is.
