Starting on this day, our dad would be at a conference for the next four days. So, Mom, and the three kids had breakfast at Starbucks, and then headed off to explore the mall that was connected to our hotel. It was called the Prudential Center Shopping Mall, and it consisted of stores such as Canada Goose, Kate Spade, Under Armor, Anne Taylor, Tesla, and the ever-famous Gucci.There was a shop that I have never heard of before, called Eataly, which was supposedly a museum, a grocery store, and a restaurant all in one. We walked around the mall, before we decided that we wanted to walk around the streets. We looked at all the small shops on the side of the road. Kiran spotted a homemade creme puff shop and got herself a creme puff. We saw a Harry Potter shop and went in. It was a small room filled with odds and ends that had something to do with Harry Potter. Posters, Keychains, Wands, Rings, Stickers, Jelly Beans, Chocolate Frogs, and more. It was extremely hot inside the room, so we decided to leave the shop. We returned to the hotel room, and picked up our dad, who had been at his conference the whole day, and went all together to the Duck Tours. The Duck tours was a tour bus that went on land and in the lake, while giving a narration of Boston’s history.
We enjoyed the tour, and the view was amazing. The narrator did give us a history lesson, but it was extremely fast pace and I am convinced that I missed about 30 percent of the information! Afterwards, we walked to a place called Kashmir’s Indian Cuisine and had dinner. We ordered Tanduri Chicken, White rice, Chicken Tikka Masala, Garlic Naan, and others. The food was good, and we finished all of it! That may have been because we didn’t want to take leftovers home, but it was enjoyable, and the service was not bad. Afterwards, we stopped at a CVS on the way back to the hotel to get some throat drops, water, and other necessities, before we went back to the hotel and fell asleep.
