Maia and Heidi were still sick with colds and at 8:30 am on this particular Saturday, it was in the 35 degree range. We decided to do something else. So we went to the mall.
Maia wanted her picture with Jeffrey the Toys R' Us giraffe so we did that. The Easter bunny was a little scary-looking and quite expensive so we didn't do that. But, we did want to do something that was touristy. So, we gave in, and stopped at Dunkin' Donuts IN THE MALL! Yes, they have them everywhere! It might be worse than Starbucks on the west coast. When you ask for directions, people will respond in terms of Dunkin' Donut locations. "Head north on hwy 1. Turn right at the third Dunkin' Donuts." 
Here's the touristy part. Not only is it a Dunkin' Donut donut, but it's a BOSTON CREAM donut. 
Maia thoroughly enjoyed her strawberry donut. I'm not sure if she's ever had a donut before but she loved it. (Last week we had a play group and there was an Easter scavenger hunt. At the end, there was a bucket of Dunkin' Donut "Munchkins" (aka donut holes). I think Maia ate 4 of them!I'm so glad that we were able to check Dunkin' Donuts off our TO DO list. Phew!
Personally, I would have loved to see the battle reenactment but maybe next year. We'll probably have to pack a few "Munchkins" to keep the kids occupied and quiet. Nothing says battles like donuts.
