Pit Stop at the Yawkey Family Inn


 We arrived at Boston Children's Yawkey Family Inn last night around 6pm. It is always an adventure. This time I had to drive in snow for about 45 minutes. I usually make numerous wrong turns but we made it without the GPS rerouting us a few times. We parked at the Boston Children's parking garage and walked (in the snow) about three blocks to the Inn. It was quite beautiful. I'd 
much rather be walking in the snow 
then driving in it! 

        The Yawkey Famlily Inn is a wonder place for families who have children who are being treated in the hospital. It's only $30 a night compared to $100 at the local hotels. We met people from all over the world: Rhode Island, Texas and Albania. Izabelle was excited to see that they had a beautifully decorated Christmas tree as well as a Menorah. She is secretly hoping for a present while we are here. You never know. 
      There is a ton of art hanging all over the house. All with a square format. What a wonderful way for artists young and old to give back to their community. I attempt to keep Izabelle up late but she falls asleep around nine pm and wakes up at six am. My attempt at trying to change her sleep schedule so she is ready for her tests. It felt good to be here a day early.
