My Boston Vacation Goals

1. No vehicular incidents. This includes any form of crashing, wrecking, smashing, towing, windshield cracking, inappropriate veering, tire popping, key-stuck-in-ignition-ing, any lack of engine turnover, ruined transmissions, snapping belts, ripping-off of rearview mirrors, break-ins, keyings, loss of antennae, cracking-off of hood ornaments (do cars have hood ornaments anymore? Am I that old?), breaking of automatic-anything, ripping of upholstery, spillage with the intent to stain, and NO CHAPPAQUIDDICKS.

2. Tea shall be thrown into the harbor. I don't care if it's a single bag of Tetley English Breakfast. It is vital to recreate history. Unless it's going to kill fish. Do fish like tea?

3. Consumption of a lobster roll. I want to know if it's that good. And I want Ina Garten to stop seeming so smug.

4. At least one bout of uncontrollable laughter.

5. One lighthouse. It doesn't even have to be functional.

6. One amazing dessert.

7. The learning of at least one new thing that I didn't know before that is really cool.

8. One really good picture of my like, totally, BFF and me.

9. Personal discovery. Is that too deep?

10. Fun!
