Hey Journal!!

Wow, Where can I possibly start!! There's so much to say, so much to tell about the most amazing weekend that I had!!!

At 7:00am on Friday, Dan picked me up. We drove to the Orient Point Ferry in which took about an hour to get to! We went inside the place, and then waited in line to board the Ferry! Dan got something to eat in this little place which had all foreign people working in it! LOL

We drove onto the Ferry and wandered around a bit. There were many fun people all over...so many people to observe. We walked around the boat many times...sat in some funky colored seats, and kept encountering the same interesting folks! There was a family with Nesquick, and people sleeping, and four crazy ladies.

The Ferry ride was VERY fun and went by quickly. We arrived in New London, Connecticut and continued our journey to Boston! We got to Boston, and checked into the Hotel! It was really cool! A nice big room! We then took a walk over to Cheers to have lunch! The outside was view that they used of Cheers for the TV show, and the inside had many pics of the show, and other intersting things.

After Cheers, we walked to the Museum of Science, which would basically be the hub of all the things we did for the rest of the time there. It's a very popular place! The museum was great and we found LOTS of fun experiments and exhibits to see and play with, and explore! We went to the IMAX/Omni show that was all about "Forces of Nature" and natural disasters! It was exciting and cool, I think it was about 45 minutes long.

Then we went back to the exhibits and played with the cools stuff about speed, light, weight, all that cool science stuff! We also bought Tickets for the Duck Tour the next day!

We left the Museum at about 6:00, and went back to the hotel. I got a nice cup in the Gift Shop at the museum! We walked to the Hotel, and got ready for the concert.

We walked to the FleetCenter though all of the crazy buildings and interesting roads, and there we were. We went inside and found our seats, they were really good seats, we had a great view of everything, and no obstructions like people standing in front of us! To make the scene, there was a Lunatic woman sitting in the row ahead of us, screaming "GLORRRRIIIAA" "WE LOVE YOUUU" "YOU'RE AWESOME!!!" At the top of her lungs. At one point she kept saying, "She's behind the curtain, I know it!" So the man behind us said, "Come on, yell to her, She knows you're here!!"

And she turned around with a look on her face, like...she was so sly and shady, and said, in a Rust-like tone, "But she doesn't know you're here!" Which made absolutely no sense considering what he was talking about, and I dunno..it was just HILARIOUS!! So So Incredibly Funny!

The whole time, she jumped around and bopped up and down, and screamed and danced.. She was looney and yet so entertaining!

The concert started and it was AMAZING! Gloria is the nicest person, and so much fun and really put on a great show! She was energetic and exciting, and her songs are amazing! She played almost EVERY song on her Greatest Hits CD, and even some of her new ones!

It's amazing becuase I fell alseep EVERY SINGLE night for a long time, listening to my Gloria Estefan Greatest Hits TAPE, which I made from my Aunt's CD. Then recently I bought my own copy of the CD, and it is absoltely amazing! I love Gloria Est! So amazing! AHHH!!

So yes, the Concert was great, and so lively and fun, so much great music, I just can't say enough how fun and exciting it was!

After the concert we walked back to the hotel and Dan ordered a Pizza from Cinderella's Pizerria. (Weird Name) So the pizza arrived and we consumed it. We also got Ice from the crazy Ice machine down the hall for the Pepsi! I took a shower, and got ready for bed! We watched TV and made it a relatively early night becuase of our reservations for the Duck Tour in the morning!

We woke up and went down to the Museum of Science where we got in line for the DuckTours! It was raining out so we had our trusty unbrella, and I went in to get something to eat while Dan waited on line! I got some Spaghetti with meatballs, and bought it out.. and we consumed while on line! The people at the museum of science were the most amazing, nice, people in the world! They were all so helpful and accomodating, and just plain nice! It was such a fun experience.

Anyway, we got on our Duck, which is an old World War I supply vehicle, which they bought and painted in crazy colors! Our Duck as called "Miss Emma Science" and our tour guide was "Major Groovy" He was a hippy kinda guy with crazy beads all over the Duck and funky clothes and such! He was VERY VERY COOL!

We took a fun tour of the city and saw lots of cool places, Major Groovy told us all about the sights, and he was very entertaining and cool. He then Drove the truck into the water and it became a boat! We floated around the Charles river for a while, and I even got to DRIVE the BOAT!!!! :)!! SO EXCITING! We went under a bridge while I was driving! It was sooo much fun and sooo cool and exciting!

We got back, the tour took about an hour and 15 mins.

We went into the Museum of Science and bought a drink, then went back to the hotel. We got our things together and left, also stopping at a CVS to get some pics off my camera, becuase I had to remove them in order to make room for more new ones!

Anyway, drove to another parking garage a little ways away, and walked through the Downtown Market and over to Boston Common, we went to the Gravesite of Sam Adams, John Hancock, and Paul Revere! It was very very cool!

After that we walked down Milk Street to the New Englad Auarium, but stopped off at the Faneuil Hall Marketplace! It was very very cool. We also passed by the site of the Boston Massacre, and many other historical delights!

We got to the aquarium, and went in...we saw the Penguins, and Jelly Fish, and a HUGE Sea Turtle! There were lots of tanks and fish to see. We then went to the Sea Lion show! It was very cool!

After that, we walked back to the car, and started our drive home!

It took us four and a half hours to drive home, but the drive went fast, and there was no traffic!

It was so exciting and amazing, the entire weekend was sooo fun! It was the most amazing Birthday surprise I could have! We had such a fun time in Boston, and there was so much to do and see! It didn't even seem like it was only two days! I feel like I was there a week, and I probably could have stayed that long seeing all of the fun things there!

Now, Here's the excitement.. It's the PICTURES from the weekend, which I just posted! TAKE A LOOK!!!!
