On the last day of our trip, we woke up at 9:00 for breakfast. Fruit, soda, omelets, eggs, bacon, sausage, and more, awaited us on the buffet counters. We ate and watched the TV, then packed everything into bags, then took them down to the lobby for our final check out.
We decided to keep our bags at the hotel while we took an Uber to Seaport, which is a newer part of Boston. We looked around and found that we could take an Uber to see the U.S.S Constitution, the oldest commissioned US warship.

We spent hours in the museum and exploring the actual ship – which was awesome. After that, we picked up our bags from the hotel and took a shuttle to the airport. At the airport we said our final goodbyes to Boston, waited for an hour, then boarded the plane.
The plane ride was our last few hours of our trip, and chose to spend it watching movies. I watched Miss Peregrines Home For Peculiar Children, and also Doctor Strange. We ate Pick Me Up boxes and drank ginger ale (again). When we landed, we claimed our baggage, took a shuttle to WallyPark, and then, drove home.
On Day 1 of our New England Trip, we stayed the night in Boston. It was about 10:30 at night, and the only food place open that was close,was called, The Best Burger Bar. The Best Burger Bar is a small restaurant. Even though it was 10:30, it was extremely crowded. I ordered the kids Macaroni and Cheese and got a bottle of apple juice. Kiran ordered the kids Grilled Cheese and got a bottle of apple juice. Simran ordered the Swiss Burger and also, got a bottle of apple juice. My dad ordered the Big Tex, a grilled chicken sandwich, and a salad. Those three items were for my mom and my dad to share. After waiting about 30-45 minutes we got our food.
Back in our hotel room, we opened our food and my mac and cheese wasn’t as appetizing as I would’ve liked. In my opinion, the mac and cheese didn’t taste as good as I expected or liked. With a little ketchup it tasted a little better but if you ever go to The Best Burger Bar I wouldn’t recommend the macaroni and cheese. Overall my macaroni and cheese was so-so. Kiran had a similar opinion for her Grilled Cheese. She said that it didn’t have enough cheese. Overall, she thought that her Grilled Cheese was so-so. Simran had a slightly different opinion with her Swiss Burger. Simran said that her burger was better than okay but not great. She also said that it was tasty. My mom and dad thought that their meal was good.
On a scale from 1 to 10 I would rate The Best Burger Bar a 5 out of 10. If you are in Boston and you happen to find a Best Burger Bar, and you want some casual, different food, I would highly recommend the place.
We woke up on July 4th at 4:30 a.m. We were so excited! We were going to Boston! We got all our bags together and checked to make sure that we had packed everything we needed. We had gone shopping before the trip to get all of us our own suitcase, so that everyone could fit everything they needed. It took us some time to get out of the house, and we ended up leaving the house at 6:50 a.m. to drive to Los Angeles International Airport. We were supposed to board our flight at around 10:30, so we were all yelling at our dad to hurry up! We had a very exciting drive to LAX, as all of us were anticipating the start of our vacation!
We got to the airport at around 8:30 a.m , but we had to drive around looking for the long-term parking lot that was by the airport. The lot we had directions to was full, so we were directed to a second parking lot. Guess what? That was full too. Then we were sent to a different parking garage, the Wally Express, which, finally, did have space. We parked and took the Wally Shuttle to our terminal. Next came the long process of checking in our baggage, going through TSA check, and then actually finding our gate. We were flying on JetBlue, which was the airline we liked the most out of the two we had been on. By the way, if you ever are at a loss of what airline to fly with, pick JetBlue, its our personal favorite. At around 10:30 a.m, we heard our flight called and boarded our flight. nAfter takeoff, we were served unlimited complimentary drinks and had the option to buy snack boxes. The three kids each got the Pick Me Up Box, which consists of three different types of cheese, crackers, and raisins. I entertained myself throughout the 5 and a half hour long flight by watching the movies, The Incredibles, and Jurassic Park. I also reread the book, When the Sea Turns Silver by Grace Lin. It was a riveting book, and helped pass some time of the flight. (For a book review on When the Sea Turns Silver, click here.) The enjoyable flight was full of relaxing, watching movies, reading, listening to music, and drinking lots and lots of ginger ale, (our parents argue that it is soda but I stubbornly disagree). After we landed, we were all We collected our luggage and took a shuttle to the rental car office.
There, our dad spent a good half-hour in line just to be told that he had been upgraded to be a ‘preferred member’ and had to go wait in a line at a different office!
In Boston with our rental car, a Chevrolet Equinox!
Shortly after, we got our rental car, a Chevrolet Equinox. It was the perfect car for this trip because it had enough space for all of our bags, and, trust me, we had a lot. The car was also very comfortable. The only thing that I did not like about the car, was that I did not have a seat warmer!
We drove to our hotel in Boston, a Homewood Inn and Suites by Hilton, and checked in. The room was not bad. It did have a decent amount of space, and it wasn’t too cramped. It had a King sized bed, and a couch pullout bed. It was clean, and we did not have any problems. We were very hungry after our long day and got takeout from The Best Burger Bar for dinner. We really didn’t have a choice in were to eat, as it was 10:30 at night! It was about a 5-10 minute walk from our hotel, so Dad, and the three kids walked there to get our food. It wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t great. After eating our dinner, we all went to bed, tired from our long day.
