Our trip did not go as planned and it ended with Eric throwing up in the parking lot. Let me back track and tell you what happened. First, we got lost on the way to FAO Schwartz. It took us about 20 extra minutes to get there and then we had to find parking. We found a parking lot, parked and headed out to find the toy store. We walked around for a while and realized that the toy store address was the same as Macy's. So we went into Macy's and asked where the toy store is. A couple of people looked at us like we were crazy, but the last person we asked said that it was in the basement of Macy's. We thought that sounded weird but we went down there anyway. Once we got down there we saw in the corner there was a small FAO Schwartz set up. There were a few toys and a few stuffed animals. So we thought "oh well" and decided to head down to Quincy Market. We decided to walk. Turns out it was a really windy day. (the stroller almost blew over with Catherine in it!!) After some extreme walking we made it to Quincy Market and Catherine was very hungry. We decided to stop for lunch. We found a very small table in the corner and squeezed in to eat. Eric and I took turns going to get something to eat. We sat there for a while and couldn't think of what to do after lunch since it was so windy. So we went over to the "Build a Bear Workshop" and we made a Puppy with Cate. She decided to name him Quincy. That was a lot of fun and Catherine loved running around the store with her new puppy. SO after that we decided that it was time to head back to the car. We ventured back into the wind. We walked by Boston Common park and saw a bunch of people ice skating there. We stopped and watched for a little bit. (The wind wasn't too bad in the park) Then we headed back to the car. On the way back Eric kept saying that he didn't feel good. Once we got to the car Eric threw up in the parking lot. Turns out that the lobster roll that he had for lunch didn't sit to well with him. Right after he threw up he got a bloody nose. Since he was bleeding I told him I would drive home. Once we got on the highway there was a ton of traffic so it took us an extra half hour to get home. When we pulled in to our driveway we looked at each other and laughed. I think that the "big city" got the best of us today. Here are some pictures and video of our big adventure.
