Post Vacation Depression

Post Vacation Depression...I think this should be an official code in the DSM. They have practically everything else in there, so why not this? I want to be diagnosed today with post-vacation depression. I just got back from Boston and it was a fabulous eleven year anniversary trip.

Awwwwe, showing some love on our Anniversary.
Haiden stayed with my Mom, she is a saint for keeping Haiden for us, so we could get away together. Don't worry, Mom got some gifts brought back for her.

Wayne and I checked out Boston for three and a half days. We had a blast! We had some fine dining and checked out some Bostonian famous digs, like Cheers. We had a sunset cruise on Boston Harbor.

We took a tour around Boston, including a trip to Paul Revere's house, visited the oldest commissioned war ship in the world, the USS Constitution (Old Iron Side) and saw some other historical places. We wandered around little Italy...tasting the best cannoli I have ever had at Mike's Pastry, a Boston landmark.

We went to see the Blue Man Group and toured Harvard and MIT (I feel smarter for just having been there). I loved Boston. It is where the Revolutionary War began, thus leading to our nation's independence. You feel the spunk in the people of Boston's spirits. They LOVE their sports teams and have a zest for life. I also can't get enough of that accent. "Paak the caa in Haavad Yaard."

I look forward to my next trip to Boston, it has passed Philadelphia on my list of favorite cities, but NYC still tops my list. Boston is a close second because of the family feel. Their are parks everywhere and it is very family friendly, while still being a city with so much action and history to offer!

The best part about returning was seeing our little girl. But going back to work tomorrow and being away from my family AND vacation...Post Vacation Depression here I come. At least I have the memories...
