Josh had to take his oral board exam to complete his board certification in ophthalmology. We flew up on Friday and took the T to our hotel (which was not where the exam was being held because that one was super pricey and we are cheap like that). Then we hopped a free ride from our hotel shuttle to the Royal Sonesta Hotel so Josh could check in for his exam. After that we had a nice dinner at the Cheesecake Factory with our friends Alison and Tyler (Tyler was also taking the board exam).
Saturday morning was Josh's exam so he left early and was gone until around noon. I tried to sleep in but was having a hard time doing that. Bummer. When Josh got back and finished thinking over his exam (which he likes to do) we headed out for lunch. We then met up with Alison and waited for Tyler to finish his exam (his started after Josh's finished) and bought tickets to go on the duck boat tour around Boston. We figured this would be a good way to see the city since we really only had that late afternoon to do so.

Our captain, he was a wicked smart fan of Boston and gave a great tour!

bridge detail, this history in this city is truly impressive. We could have spent two weeks there seeing everything, and not to mention the shopping, oh the shopping...

This is where the four of us had a celebratory dinner that boards were over. Josh and I shared a lobster!
Congrats to both Josh and Tyler, who we found out 4-6 weeks later, both passed the exam and are board certified!
And yes, my dad and the boys survived the weekend. Thanks for babysitting Dad!

Congrats on passing boards Josh! I wasn't too worried. Happy for you. Just think, no more tests for 10 years! Hope all is well. Miss seeing you guys.
