Chowderfest

Boston Clam Chowder. Now if that isn't as American as the Flag and apple pie, I don't know what is. Caz is a fanatic about his chowder. For a long time Coco wouldn't go near it. But now he dives right in. I showed Caz a trick once, a few years ago, balancing my spoon upright in a crock of clam chowder. It was to show him how thick this particular chowder is. Now that is the standard by which he judges all other chowders. And actually the chowder I showed him the spoon trick in, is still his favorite (I could tell you where to get it, but you know, then....well, you know the rest).
Demi scoured the web, looking for a family day activity. She came across Harborfest going on in Boston. A clam chowder contest, treasure hunt, and all kinds of 4th of July activities. We went into Boston with two other families and their kids. The treasure hunt was a walking tour of some of the historic sights in Boston. The kids had fun and learned some things at the same time. You can't ask more than that. We had lunch at Tia's on the waterfront. And we wrapped up with some chowder. Mix in a little street dancing, and it was just a fantastic day. Kudos to Demi for cooking up the perfect family day. Everyone had a good time and we spent the day together bonding.
