Day 2- Boston to Washington DC

The second day of our roadtrip was kind of boring..we were on the road for 10 hours driving from Boston to DC. It was supposed to be an 8 hrs drive, but the traffic from Bos to NYC was just crazy. Nasib baik irfan behaved jela. I bought some small toys when we were on the road so dia tak merengek.

Mr Driver yg dah pening dgn traffic

On our way to DC, Irfan peed at a public toilet for the first time.He's always scared of the public toilet-mainly because of the sound of the hand dryer and the flush. kan kuat semacam compared to regular toilets. Hotels toilet are fine- memilih la ini budak. He's just too cute.
Sampai DC quite late around 10 pm. Irfan dah menahan nak 'big pee pee' (he meant nak no 2 heheh). He couldn't pee in his pull ups (konon tak biasa la kan). But our place to stay for the night tak ready lagi- there was some party going on in the building. So irfan asyik la merayu- rayu...' Want to pee pee.. Pee pee' sedih la aku tgk kan si budak sorang ni.we drove around to look for a place/ public restroom- singgah gas station, walgreens- no restroom! Even to look for parking was so damn difficult. Ape kejadahnye. Yg si anak sorang ni dah tak tertahan2. Sedih betul. Finally at 12 or so dapat masuk the so called Inn- and oh my goodness.. Very dissapointing. But ok la for one night stay. Kesian irfan menahan big pee pee dia sampai tgh malam huhu- alamk this entry is more about irfan and his big pee pee pulak huhuh.. to be continued about the big pee pee

Day 1- Kansas City, MO to Boston, MA

We woke up at 5 AM to catch our 8 AM flight. Mandi2 getting ready, Irfan was the last one to get ready. Kesian dia tido pukul 12 lebih and has to wake up at 5:30 AM the next day. He's not really used to sleeping at a hotel so the night before terkebil2 tak boleh tido hehe.




We took a shuttle to the airport. By the time we got to the airport, there were tons of people lining up. It's 4th of July weekend, everybody has travel plans. Nasib baik sampai awal. Security was ok, nothing to complain. Had some breakfast that Gem made for us- nasi & mee goreng. yummy.


Irfan and his favorite bag


While waiting to take off
We arrived at Boston at about 12:30 pm, picked up our rental car and by the time we got to the hotel it was almost 3 pm. It was so tiring. Irfan wasn't feeling very well- he's annoyed dgn hidung dia. I think he's allergic to the dust from the airport or something. Asyik2 blowing and wiping his nose- but no selsema or anything.

About 4:30 pm we headed to downtown Boston- first stop was Boston Commons so that we can walk along the freedom trail. Found a ridiculously expensive parking, and started walking. Tak jumpa2 the freedom trail. Finally jumpa but jalan halfway couldn't find the rest of it. Ingat nak check google map, my kaput BB wasn't working. Tension.

Faneuil Hall- Quincy Market

Our first stop was the Quincy Market- it's a building/ market with tons of people selling souvenirs, popular boston sea food etc. Pretty good crowd- and everything costs way too much huhu. I bought a small magnet for $8! Quincy Market is similar to Pike Market in Seattle.

Then we continued our walk to the North End area.It's pretty much the harbor with nice view.



After a long walk (2 miles I'm guessing), dah penat sgt so stopped at the most popular pastry/ dessert shop in Boston- Mike's Pastry. We ordered some cannolis and they are the best that I've ever tasted.
And there were about 30 people lining up waiting for their turn- to get a bite of Mike's Cannoli. It's absolutely worth it. There's only one reason I'd go back to Boston- for the cannoli hehehe. (I think I kinda sound like Amin & Gem now, it's all about good food)

Enjoying our chocolate chip cannoli. The best in Bean Town.
The store is so small..

Then we headed back to our parking lot- got a bit lost. Ate some Lobster Rolls for dinner- a must try! Off to bed. Oh now I feel like going back to Boston :(
