Boston

Brian and I were able to get away for a long weekend to celebrate our anniversary. We had a lot of fun touring Boston and going to a Red Sox game. We definitely missed our little guy, but it was nice to have some time to focus on each other too. Plus, he was in wonderful hands with Mimi & Papa! We walked all around the city and loved seeing all the cool sights. We took a "Duck Tour" that lasted 1 1/2 hours and showed us all the history of Boston. The food in Boston was incredible and we definitely indulged:). It was fun to have no agenda and just do whatever we felt like doing. The game was a huge highlight and not just because of the food (I love ballpark food). It was a neat experience to be in Fenway Park even if they did lose that night. The last night we were there, we went to dinner with Brian's sister, Lynnette. She took us to an awesome Italian restaurant that we thoroughly enjoyed. We were able to spend a few hours catching up with her which was nice. Brian made sure we hit the yummy pastry shops for some of the famous cookies he loves so much.
Here are some pictures of our trip.
We walked all around the city and ended up by Fenway Park on game day. There was a fun buzz in the air and Brian was in heaven.
This was on the Duck Tour. I had very few pics from this because a downpour.


The Duck took us for a jaunt in the water which was fun....



Here we are on the Duck (our reflection at least)....




Game night!! We were excited as you can see...


Fenway Park...






Tradition calls for the song, Sweet Caroline, to be sung every game. It was cool to hear thousands of fans getting into it.







We had a great time with Lynnette on Sunday. She is a lot of fun. Here she is singing with the local musicians....they loved her!

There is no comparison between Boston and NYC, Boston wins hands down. Glad you saw Boston Amy and the North side. Little Italy, is just full of great restaurants so you can't go wrong. Samuel, aka Mugsy, and his video is fantastic. He is one cool dude with those shades on.
