Welcome to THE Kim Family Where Boys Rule

We were walking back from Chinatown to our hotel. On the way, we wanted to stop by the place where the Boston creme pie started at. We stopped at the Omni Parker House Hotel @ Boston @@ Parker’s Bar. We started out and ordered one Boston Creme Pie and two coffees. Jeremiah only agreed to go inside the restaurant because he saw ice cream on the menu.

This Parker House was the longest running hotel in USA.

This Boston creme pie was significantly better than the one we had @ Cheers earlier in the afternoon but not to the quality that I expected from the Best Boston Creme Pie establishment.

Nonetheless, it was good enough for the boys.  They devoured the pie and one minute later …

Brimmer Street and Beacon Street

We stayed at the Custom House at Boston.  The hotel only allows 4 occupants in the hotel rooms. There’s no freight elevators so it often inconvenienced us when we could not get into the elevator or missed the elevator as service staff were trying to get out.

On the 24th floor, we had air hockey, pinball machine, and a pool table.  Boys challenged daddy on a daily basis to unthrone dad on the air hockey.  Dad often creamed the boys at air hockey.  A dollar went a long way on the pinball machine for daddy too.

Here’s some tidbits that we learned from our bus tour:

• School street had the first school prior to Harvard.
• Boston Common was the oldest park in the country. Charles street was the shoreline in 1832. The city drainage system drained into Charles River.
• Lamps on beacon hill are gas powered and on 24 hrs per day. There’s 800 of these lamps.
• Charles street also has ton of gas lamps. Charles street is also known as antique street. There’s ton of antique shops on Charles street.
• We found out that people can make 6 figures walking dogs on beacon hill.  

Here’s a great view of the Custom House late at night.  We took this picture on the walk back from China town.
