Boston & New York City

Our two week trip this time took us to Boston, then New York City and then home to Iowa for the Thanksgiving week.

First stop - Boston! 
USA Basketball is hosting Friday youth clinics and Sunday youth camps in the area so off we go to Boston on a Thursday morning from Denver.  We stayed in the Marriott Long Wharf where we stayed last spring when we were in Boston.  It's in a great location so I can have options of things to do and places to eat while Don works.  

Our first stop on Thursday was Legal Seafood across the street from our hotel for New England clam chowder.  Friday night after a delicious meal at the Chart House in the old historic building on the wharf we walked to TD Garden for a Boston Celtics game.

Saturday was a day off from work for Don so with the rental car we drove to Plimoth Plantation which was about an hour south of Boston.  It is a living museum of the 17th century ways and it was so timely with Thanksgiving coming up soon.  We thoroughly enjoyed visiting the Wampanoag Homesite, the fort/meeting house and the 17th century English village.
