I want to post this in a blog so I don't have to tell each of you personally how it was. plus, you know me... i like to post blogs about my trips. I feel like this one won't be as long as the others.
If you've read my blogs up until now, you know how my trip started... let me continue from there;
Friday came all too soon, and the day looked nice outside, until we got out there. We decided to get lunch and make our way around Beantown... so we grabbed lunch at the "best sports bar in the country" according to SI Mag. not a bad lunch at all.. fun little place, but we were eating lunch at like 3pm, so it wasnt very busy. Right as we were walking into that place it was starting to rain a bit... the rain continued for the rest of the day, off and on. Boston is very windy, I don't know if that is by nature (like Chicago) or if we just got screwed... but when the temp is 45 and the wind and rain are a factor... it doesn't make for a very fun day of walking. BUT we walked.. and walked... made a stop at The Beantown Pub for some beers (that was when it was raining HARD)... then decided to make out way back to the room and watch a movie or something. We wanted to kill some time before dinner... if we were even going to be hungry, being that we ate at 3pm. so we killed time... and decided we were not going to eat a big meal, so we got some popcorn and watched a movie. end of friday.
saturday was not raining, but still quite windy... brrrrrrrrr.
Saturday we walked all day, got breakfast/lunch, saw Cheers (which i will post the pic of when i get home), and started the Freedom Trail. The Freedom Trail is a red line on the sidewalks of Boston taking you to many historic places in the city. the trail is 2.5 miles long and covers much of the North End of Boston. so we took many hours to do that, and we decided we were too cold to finish, and that sunday was supposed to be nice, so we'd finish then. so we stopped in a little pub and got a fresh maine lobster for a midday snack... YUM! again, we make our way back to the room, watch a movie and kill time before dinner.
Dinner was awesome. We went to a little place in an area that i can't remember the name of, but it was so good. As i have told before, we like to eat small plates and share them.. so we can try a lot of different things. SO MUCH FUN! ooh.. then we stopped at Cold Stone (it was right next to our hotel) for desert... yummy again!
Sunday was a much nicer day... less windy, and sunny. we wanted to see the western part of Boston, so we got on the subway and headed southwest. we got off planning to eat breakfast, but not knowing where... we found a little place that i read about online and decided to eat there... the line was out the door, and that is a good sign! GREAT place for breakfast if you don't mind waiting in line... a 45 minute wait in line for a counter you go to, order your food, get your food, pay and find a table, eat and leave. not most peoples idea of a good time, but we like to try popular places, and we don't mind waiting for good food! the breakfast was great!!!
after breakfast, we walked a bunch more, and never did finish the freedom trail, i'm pretty sure i did something to my knee one of the days there, and i just didnt want to walk anymore. so we called it quits around 4:30pm, and went back to the room... The Masters was on, and he wanted to watch a bit of that, and I wanted to take a hot bath and relax my knee. Dinner was at 8:00pm, we went to a nice little italian place in the north end. same deal as everytime before, shared plates and wine!!
then monday came WAY TOO EARLY ( i was up at 3:30am, boston time), i got to the airport to catch a 6am flight, got home and drove right to work and worked until 4pm... LONG DAY!
all in all Boston was a great time. weather could have been better, but it's a tought time of year to find perfect weather, unless you go to jamaica! good food, good people, good walks, good history, and great company!
I don't have a ton of pics, as there was just really nothing that 'touched' me like that... so don't expect to see much! i will post the Cheers picture when i get home from work today.
so i hope you all enjoyed reading about Boston... I have a trip to Myrtle Beach coming at the start of May, so be looking for a blog on that one too!!!
laters, ya'll
word.
