Strawberry Picking

I have always loved to eat Strawberries. Even my favorite flavour in Ice-cream is Strawberry. Some of the few advantages being in USA is getting to eat fresh strawberries. Picking our own strawberry from the farm is even more exciting.


We went to Parlee's Farm in Chelmsford. It was such a nice experience. The moment we entered the farm, I could smell the fresh smell of strawberry. I picked up one basket and started my hunt. My husband was surprised that I did not pick two baskets. :-)

It came upto 7 pounds of strawberries when I finished picking. Finally a dream came true.......

NewEngland Aquarium

We planned our trip to New England Aquarium last weekend. I was really excited to go to Boston. I landed in USA in Boston only. But Rakshitha was very small by then. I never looked out of the window in the car as I was really worried about her bulgy diaper. I heard from my hubby that buildings in Boston are really tall. So I was very excited.

Of course the buildings were very tall. But this time also I could not have a very nice look at them because of the GPS. OMG. It is really an Art to drive in Boston with GPS. I was forced to constantly look at the GPS as my hubby was driving. Next issue was to find a parking. It took almost half an hour to park.

By the time we reached inside in the Aquarium, guess what. You are right. Rakshitha started to cry for her nap. She saw cried cried cried then slept. She is more beautiful when she sleeps. :)
Me and my hubby enjoyed some fish after she slept. Animals in zoos and Aquariums in US are lucky than the animals in Indian zoos. Everything was neat and animals seem to be happy too.

Then we had lunch there. OMG. McDonald's burger was 1000 times better than the ones available there. I hated the food. Then Rakshitha woke up and had her lunch too. Now she was brisk and enjoyed fish. She wanted to catch all of them. At last we were happy that she was happy.

Initially when we entered into the aquarium we were taken a photo. I thought it was for Identity purpose. But later learned that there was a shop outside to bill us if we need the photo. It was really shocking to know the price of the photo (21$).
Outside the aquarium there were benches and the sea breeze was beautiful. Rakshitha had a great time running around and playing. That place made this Boston trip happy. Then we went to a park near by. Rakshitha had her snack and then we made our way home. Nice weekend. :)
