Tea at the Taj

Earlier today we enjoyed a fancy tea at The Taj hotel in downtown Boston with our good friends Ken and Marilyn. I'd been there once before with Hyder, and this time we decided to take Maya with us too. I'm happy to report that no fine china was damaged during our visit, and we tried to minimize the crumbs that ended up on the floor. The staff there was very welcoming toward us, and even gave Maya some crayons and a coloring book, as well as a bowl of O's. Maya was also fascinated by the violinist who was performing, so she was entertained.

As usual, the food and drinks were delicious. We had some great savory sandwiches with cucumber, egg salad, and more; I was too busy eating them to take a photo. We also had some lovely sweet treats:

Maya (in her adorable new dress from Aunt Sidney and her adorable tights from Aunt Marilyn) enjoyed walking around and exploring with Dada:

And at the end of tea, she got hold of my credit card so she could pay:

She then managed to also grab hold of Uncle Ken's credit card:

Maya then sat with Aunt Marilyn for a minute before starting her squirming:

And finally settled down with Dada while she munched on a cracker:

All in all, it was a great afternoon!
