Boston

As we discussed Spring Break plans this year it was evident that Doug and Cal had no interest in going to Florida. I can't say that I blame them.  We have been to Disney World ten times and last April it was very crowded.  Doug and I talked about several ideas.  We wanted a place that had something for everyone, especially Brett since this will probably be his last Spring Break trip with us.  So while everyone else headed South, we packed the van for a trip east to Boston.

A road trip with the Heinisch family is always interesting.   The fourteen hour drive was a great time to introduce the kids to WKRP in Cincinnati (a new favorite.).  Cam was banned from drinking lemonade to avoid having to stop every twenty minutes.  As always, Meg had more things piled in front of, to the side of,  or under her seat than the rest of us combined.  Cal slept quite a bit, catching up from the early morning basketball games, after school rounds of golf practice and late night exercise routines.  Brett read, quizzed us on historical facts and enjoyed the 1960s Batman Series we "borrowed" from my Dad.

Our first stop was the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame - not enough history of basketball for Doug, but a lot of fun activities for the three youngest Heinisch's.  Doug and Cal then spent the evening at the Boston Celtics game - a must see for the Kevin Garnett fan!  The rest of us enjoyed the Coco Key Water Park Resort in our hotel.  With an indoor lazy river, body slides and smoothies to drink, who wouldn't.  During this time, Brett and I spent a lot of time talking about Pope Francis, rap music, texting and all sorts of great things. What a wonderful way to start our non-Florida vacation!
