Nobody Knew Our Names

So a lot has happened over the last few weeks, and I have neglected to post about any of it. What a shame. I'll try to do the best I can to get you up to date. First - the Boston Trip.

Boston - it is a wonderful city. Mom, the wife, and I all went up for Ashley's work. It was a blast. We headed up on airplanes from all parts of the country on Wednesday. Wife and I flew in Wednesday afternoon. We checked in to the hotel, relaxed a bit, met up with mom, and then started walking around the back bay. We got off to a great start by eating at this really neat restaurant on the side of the street. It was in a popular area, of which I don't remember the street. It was where all the great shopping is, and there's a 'mall' (the grassy kind) one street over. Thursday morning we walked around even more - this time on the Freedom Trail. Being such a lover of history, I absolutely loved the entire thing. I had so much fun looking around and taking my time that we only made it through half of the trail the first day. That night we ate at a seafood place and I had Bahhhstan Lahhbstah - as they say. Mmmm. The next day Mom and I finished the trail while the wife worked. Friday night was a dream come true. I got to go to a Red Sox game. Sort of. The darn thing got rained out, and I was shat out of luck. The umps waited for an hour and a half or so before postponing it though, so we got to 'soak it all in' before we left. Although I didn't see the game, I did get to hang out in the corridors and drink beers, chat it up with other Bosox fans, and eat peanuts. It was better than nothing, but I still have to get up there for a game. Saturday morning we just kind of took it easy.

Unfortunately, my story is getting all jumbled up at this point - and I don't quite remember what the heck we did on Saturday. I know one night we took a freakin' Duck Tour though, and it was pretty hilarious. I didn't initially want to go, but I admit I had a good time. Sunday morning EARLY mom had to head to the airport, and the wife and I went to the part of the Freedom Trail she missed out on from being at work. We ended up in the 'Little Italy" area of the city, and we at cannolis from a wonderful pastry place. It was a great last day of our trip.
