...another day in the land of the Red Sox ~ Boston, MA

Our travels took us even further north today to Braintree, and Boston, MA.
We started off visiting a local Kmart. Zeek and Betty thanked employees for their contributions and received a check on behalf of all Kmart's in the Massachusetts area for over $88K!! Go team Kmart!!
It was then off to the NICU at New England Medical Center. Zeek and Betty stopped by to thank the doctors and nurses who live their lives on the front lines to save babies. NEMC is the proud new site of the March of Dimes NICU Family Support program which began in January~keep up the good work!!!
After the hospital we had a grand tour of EF another proud new supporter of the March of Dimes...this international educational travel company supports the March of Dimes with fundraising, but they are also an integral part of WalkAmerica with over 150 volunteers on Walk Day!!
Next stop was Logan Airport in Boston to spend some time with Continental Airlines. They are the Official Airline of the National Ambassador Program and fly the Taylor's across the country to share the mission of the March of Dimes...here Zeek is trying out his new plane with Teresa, the team captain for the Continental team in Boston!!
While hanging out at the airport, Zeek became fast friends with the state troopers on duty!
Behind the scenes at Continental...Zeek passed out his cards and left some goodies for all the hard working supporters...
...we couldn't head out without saying hello to the ladies in baggage claim!! Zeek is quite the charmer :)
Last stop was a live radio interview at WROR, 105.7 ~ Zeek and Betty spoke about their story and encouraged listeners to join in the fight to save babies and come out and walk for WalkAmerica!!
Zeek is getting very comfortable in front of a microphone...
Taylor Family meet the Turenne Family!!! What's a visit to New England without a home cooked meal...Betty and Zeek enjoyed some local hospitality and great company with Jerilynn, Andree, Dick, and of course Zeek's favorite Muffin the cat!
