Boston is a new town for both of us, so we were excited to check it out and see the historical sites. Thanks to Google's new Travel Guide function, we were able to cram 400 years of history into four hours. We're getting this tourist thing down! Phil's Airbnb in BrooklineIt's a bus.

It's been a great visit with our Brooklyn kids, but we needed them to get back to work so they can take care of us when we get old. We did more in NYC in three days than most New Yorkers do their whole lives (we know that to be true is because Jim met … Continue reading Long Island to Boston →

Perfect weather to say farewell … Continue reading Ponies and Park Slope →

Evidently, when we drove her in the sand on the Outer Banks, some air intake vent was blocked. "They" say … Continue reading Subie, Ships & Zags →
