Hi All My turn to write this blog! Well we made it out of Boston OK and have now arrived safely in Manchester, Vermont. It felt a bit sad to leave Boston as we were just beginning to get to know the place, but this is a roadtrip after all so it had to be done. We're staying in a little motel just outside of town.
