February Vacation

Beau and Casey were out of school for February break this week.

The fun began on Sunday with a post-early-morning hockey game, Valentines Day breakfast at a cafe that Britt discovered using an iPhone app.

Next stop: South Station. Beau got to take the train on his own to New Haven to visit his buddy Jackson.

Mid-day on Monday, Casey left for a five-day ski trip with the family of his friend Freddie.

Tuesday, having met up in New Haven, Beau and I took the train into New York for the day. After arriving at Grand Central Station, we made our way to Madison Square Garden to see our neighbor's dog compete in the Westminster Kennel Club dog show. Homer came in second, so we didn't have to worry about going back that night for the group events.

After stopping for a slice of pizza, Beau and I went to the Rose Museum of Earth and Space.

Then we had a beautiful walk through Central Park in the snow.

We tramped through FAO Schwartz where we spied the largest ever stuffed dragon.

And finished up at Dylan's Candy Bar.

Other adventures included: a walking tour of Yale University and a visit to Boston's MFA (no pictures); some cooking adventures (see next post); and a fair amount of griping about the broadcast coverage of the Winter Olympix.
