DNC Traffic

My Mom came out this past week to help us out, after Elizabeth went into the hospital. This morning she's flying back to Chicago.

Yes, it might have sounded crazy to plan on going to Boston's Logan Airport on the first day of the Democratic National Convention. But I think people really did decide to either take vacations this week, or else went into work really early to be able to get home before the highway closes at 4pm. Traffic on Rt. 93 to and from Boston was extremely light this morning, from 8 to 9am, when I dropped Mom off at the airport. I zipped right up there, and right back. The only delay was brief, in the northbound direction, as the police pulled trucks over to the side of the road to search them.

All in all, a surprisingly easy trip! Now I just hope Mom's experience in the airport goes as well...
