April27,2008 Symphony
Today we slept in probably the latest ever! It was 12:30 in the afternoon before all of us were up for the day. I had gotten up about 8:30 and was reading a book but after a while I fell back asleep because it was a dark day her in Boston and it did not feel that late. I am reading the Twilight series I have finished book 1 & 2 and am starting the 3rd book tomorrow on the plane. So we all got up and had breakfast(leftover dinner from the night before) We showered and then we were off to ride the subway to the symphony. We arrived about 10 minutes before it started. I was glad we had made it because the blue line was closed because of a gas leak on sat and they were trying to fix it. We saw the Orchestre National De France with special guest David Fray as a piano soloist. The conductor was was Kurt Masur.David Fray was a 20 year old piano artist, he was great. He had the whole piece that he played with the orchestra memorized. They play Beethoven Piano concerto no 2 in b-flat Major Opus 19 all three movements. Then there was an intermission. Then they played Tchaikovsky's Symphony no 5 in e minor opus 64 with all 4 movements. The conductor has no music for the whole piece it was amazing. Mark liked the last movement the best and I liked it all. We then made it to Houstons in Quincy Market for dinner. I had Prime rib with a baked potato and mark had a steak with a potato. They could not serve mark fries because the restaurant had lost it gas line the day before. After dinner we went back to Tedann's and watched Extreme Makeover and played cards. We also had to die for Chocolate cheesecake.
April 26,2008 Six Flags New England
Today we got up and drove to Springfield Mass which is about 90 miles away from Boston to go to Six Flags New England. We arrived about 12:00 and it was a beautiful day. It was about 65-70 degrees and the sun was out and very little wind. We rode rides all day we thought it was really funny that the first 4 rides we went on broke down as we were in line. We think that the part was not ready for today because there was a cheerleading competiion going on at the park and there were LOTS of teenagers, so we think they did not have enough staff to run the park as well as it should have been ran. Anyone that knows Mark knows he loves roller coasters. We rode roller coasters all day!! The one that we all liked the best was called Superman it went 77 miles an hour and had a huge first drop!!! It was a 2 1/2 minute ride pretty long for a roller coaster. We had lunch at the park. We stayed until they closed which was 8:oo. We then had to brave the 2 hour drive home. We all were hungry so we stopped at a Cheesecake factory for a very late dinner. I had chicken, Mark had tacos and we ordered a Godiva Chocolate Cheese cake to go. We arrived home about 12:3o and we all went right to bed!

We were able to watch an actual glass blowing demonstration. The young lady that gave the demonstration was making a wavy glass bowl.Sandwich had one of the first glass making factories in the new world. Then we made our way back to Boston. We did laundry and made dinner and watched a movie.
