Where Everybody Knows Your Name

The past few weeks have been crazy. The two of us have been flying back and forth every weekend from coast to coast in an effort to spend our weekends together. That's left little time for us to keep up with our friends and family. This past weekend, we decided to spend some time in Boston, MA. Luckily, the weather was nice, the flights were uneventful (no delays... shocking!), and we had a chance to spend some quality time with our peeps.

We started the weekend by taking a nice stroll through the Boston Commons. The flowers were blooming, the birds were abuzz, and the 100 degree heat kept the masses from converging on our meeting point...


We decided to walk up Newbury Street, one of the famous shopping districts in Boston. There were lots of beautiful brownstones and trendy little boutiques along the way...


A couple destined for divorce (kidding!), rented a cute London taxicab to whisk them away from the chapel...


Afterwards, we waited a few minutes so that all the people (tourists) ahead of us could get their pics, and then we dutifully took our shot of the place where everybody knows your name...


The gang strolled over to Quincy Market for some snacks and (non-alcoholic) liquids to quench our thirst.

Our last stop of the day was a trip to an Italian street fair in the North End, where we played silly games for $5 a pop and ate sausage sandwiches, seafood and pasta...

We lucked out towards the end of the day with a beautiful sunset... not a bad way to spend a few days!

We're looking forward to going back before the weather takes a turn in the other direction. Maybe we'll get a chance to watch Web's Boston Celtics in action with their new trio of all-stars.
