Find your own ant!

Today marked our first full day of good dining. Breakfast at Kitchen Little in Mystic did not disappoint. The view wasn't bad either.
After Kitchen Little, we set out for our drive to Boston full, happy, and refreshed.
Car games included foam hats (?), scratchbook art (where Miriam drew the loch-nose monster), and ants. Yes ants. We spent the first 30 minutes with ant hysterics, then arguments over whose pet ant was faster, we set ants free to go wherever the wind would take them, and we squished a few too. When we arrived in Boston, we drove straight to Party Favors to meet friends Mary Lynn and Yanni at their store.
We left with a bag of treats and headed to their house for a lunchtime feast of grilled goodness :)
After a little hotel musical chairs we settled in for a few days of pampering at the Ritz. We unloaded the car (completely) and the bellman was nice enough to vacuum up the remaining stow away ants. Annalee and I escaped for a blissful evening of strolling through Boston parks and down Newberry street. We had another great meal and the kids relaxed and ordered room service pizza. Breier and I even snuck in Public Enemies at the theater next door -blissful night for all.
Tomorrow TUFTS.
