A father and son getaway

My husband is a big hockey fan and so is our youngest son Marc.  Serge has always had a dream to watch the New York Rangers play hockey in New York and also to see the Boston Bruins in Boston. 

Serge flies all the time because he works part time in the US.  As a result he’s accumulated tons of airline points.  A few months ago he made a proposal to Marc that the two of them fly to New York to watch the Rangers and then take the train to Boston to see the Bruins.  Marc was all for it.  There were enough airline points to fly business class from LA to NYC.  They flew from Vancouver to LA.

As I write this the two of them are in Boston having a tour of Fenway Park.  (They’re both baseball fans too. )  They watch the Bruins play hockey tonight.  They’ve been to NYC and watched the Rangers win their game on Monday night.  They strolled Time Square, had a tour of Yankee Stadium, visited Ground 0 and Marc bought a few new clothes with designers labels.  They went somewhere yesterday and ordered one sandwich for the two of them and they couldn’t eat it all! Serge said it was 4″ clubhouse.

I’m thrilled for them.  I know this is something Marc will remember forever.  Serge told me it was something he always wished his dad had done with him but he wasn’t a sports fan. I’m not either so I couldn’t be happier that the two of them are having this time together doing what they love.
