Topeng & Nina: MA Trip 2020

Our first girls-only trip. Lily's first spring break. Yumi's first plane ride.

My amazing cousin Emily (and her family) accommodated us for this trip despite growing concerns due to a pandemic. Most of the places she planned to take us to were closed but she made sure that we still make the most of it.

I'm not superstitious but this was probably not a good date to travel.:p As if flying with two kids without another adult is not stressful enough, additional precautions like packing masks/gloves and disinfecting/avoiding touching surfaces had to be taken. Thank God, He kept us safe and we did not encounter any obstacles during our flights.

Arrival in BOS. Hardly caught any sleep during the flight as we were seated at the very back of the plane (e.g. seat does not recline) and slightly separated (e.g. Lily was an aisle apart) so just slept through the morning. In the afternoon, the Perkins took us to Wingaersheek beach then dropped by Rory's parents' house.

This might be the only day in our trip when we were able to go where planned. Fortunately, since the attractions are found outdoors and it would be easier for people to socially distance, the DeCordova Sculpture Garden stayed open. Credit to Emily for the photos.

Afterwards, we picked up the car rental to fit three car seats. Truth be told, this was my first time driving out of (Arizona) state so you could imagine how nervous I was taking it back to the apartment. God bless Emily for doing the rest of the adulting stuff (like driving and installing the car seats) after that.
