Boston Cont'd

A few of the other things we were up to while in Boston...




Massachusetts General Hospital





Josh and the neurosurgeon he shadowed (Sorry about the poor quality of picture. It is from Dr. Carter's cell phone.)





Harvard Square







The original edifice of Massachusetts General Hospital, constructed in 1811






Josh and Carlos Sanchez in front of the original hospital. Josh worked with Carlos, a postdoctoral fellow, in the lab all summer.








The Ether Dome at MGH. Definitely take a minute and check out the link for this place. It is extremely interesting and bears too large a description to fit in the blog.






Josh and Henry shooting the breeze in the Ether Dome.

Boston Public Gardens

Wild Goose Chase

One of our favorite things to do in Belmont was take walks in the evenings after Dad got home from work. One night we came across this gaggle of geese and lured them in with ice cream cones for some face time with Henry.

Henry and I made a quick pit-stop in Phoenix (where else!) on our way home so that Dad could experience a few overnight shifts with the big dog residents at the hospital before finishing his internship for the summer. Today we went swimming with the Sawkiw family. It was Hal's first time in the drink and he hated it. In all fairness it was 117 degrees outside and the pool, although sizable, was lukewarm. Despite his best efforts, Uncle Bill was not able to brighten Henry's spirits (which is unusual). Maybe it was because he dunked the little guy. Aside from the going under the water, Henry watched his girly cousins do flips and splashes while staying safely nestled under my chin. Today he was a total mamma's boy. Here are some pics of him with Uncle Bill before the big dip. Poor guy.

(Thanks for the great swim outfit, Meghan! The pics don't do justice to how cute it was.)

*ps. We actually have a few more pictures from Boston, but I forgot to pack the usb drive thing. Once our family is reunited in the land of the Lubbites we will post some more pictures of our time in Beantown. (Tag you're it, Dad.)
