The Zeinstra family arrived in Boston on Wednesday morning after a long morning of travel from a snowy Minnesota to the warm sunshine in Massachusetts. Boston was in a state of heightened security as only 2 days had passed since the bombing at the marathon. Mike was able to give them a brief tour of down town Boston, but the presence of security was hard to ignore.

Friday morning was another morning of shock as we were quickly made aware of the fact that the suspects of the bombing were identified during the night and that one of them was on the run, armed, and dangerous in Watertown, Ma just 2 miles from our home. We were asked by the authorities to remain in our homes behind locked doors.
After a couple of hours of watching the developments of the pursuit of the suspect we felt comfortable that he was contained to a general area to the north of us and that leaving the city was the best plan for us and for our guests. Our favorite New England spot is Ogunquit, ME. We took a round about way out of the city in order to avoid any confrontation with the authorities and made our way north away from danger and to enjoy the coast until the conflict was resolved.
