The weather was too cold Wednesday night to be walking outside, so Tristyn and I took the car to find the perfect spot in Boston to watch the fireworks. They were set to launch from the harbor at midnight. We drove around for a while trying to find a good vantage point. Finally at 11:57 or so we drove into a park right on the harbor, with a perfect view, and parked at the gate on the water's edge. On the radio they did the countdown - 5,4,3,2,1 - and we look at the harbor and wait... and wait... and a few minutes later a cop pulls by and tells us on his megaphone, "sorry folks, the fireworks were canceled." Presumably due to the weather. So we came back home.

Yesterday we drove to NY for a family New Years party, and from there to NJ, for a few days with T's family.
