Oh, so fun Chinatown

This was so fun.  We went into the city with friends, which we never do, and it was so fun.  First stop was a restaurant in Chinatown.  It had a name which was both generic and hilarious, like Jumbo Seafood Restaurant.

The girls were fascinated by the fish tanks.



Poor little, bald Chewie.  It was a tad late for her and she seemed slightly overwhelmed.  Maybe because her beloved older sister was paying attention to Keala and not her.


Frances and Keala were a hoot.  I wasn't sure what Frances was going to eat at this Chinese restaurant, but I needn't have worried.  Frances and Keala took one look at the plate of fried chicken parts and got busy.  They were having a contest to see who could accumulate the most chicken bones.  Just when you think you know a kid...


The kiddos were ready to run around before the adults were quite ready to get up from dinner, but we were blessed by a small park across the street.  Perfect location.



After everyone finished, we started wandering through Chinatown and came across a great stream.  I believe it was designed by one of Mark's Harvard professors, but I could be mistaken about that.


A great place for washing off chicken grease.


This picture reminds me of the Abbey Road cover.  Is it just me?




The night just kept getting better.  We wandered into the gardens, where the tuckered out kids could have a rest...


...and we hung out under this artwork.


I wish I could remember the artist name, or all the details associated with it.  There were a lot of details, like each knot in the net represented the "blank" of Boston and the giant holes represented the three? landfills? of Boston.  Something like that.

Regardless, it was cool.


Just ask these two.



A little more relaxing (I promise I do take my kids out in the sun)...


...and we headed for home.
