Well, the plane ride was uneventful (thank goodness) and we arrived in Boston on time... to extremely cold temperatures and a light rain. Got to the hotel (20 miles out of Boston... what the hell?) and found we were paying way too much for a crappy little room that was way too far away from where we needed to be. Ugh!
Anyway... we ended up at Panera for breakfast here in Waltham, MA. Wow... so different than our Panera. They actually have lobster ciabatta sandwiches. How yummy! Egg souffles and hot chocolate were on the menu for us. Really good.
Next, we drove into Boston... the long, backroads drive that took us an hour but did take us through a lot of little towns as well as Cambridge. We finally got to the middle of Boston and met up with Marlon & Tracy (BIL & SIL) to have lunch with Cousin Sorel at Durgin Park. Durgin Park was fun... I think it's one of the oldest restaurants in Boston. We had amazing clam chowder and David and I split a chicken pot pie. I'm not a big fan of chicken pot pie but this was to die for.
Then... we walked along the Freedom Trail, shopped at Faneuil Hall and wrapped it up with dinner at Quincy Hall. Got some Boston Cream Pie to go and drove back to the hotel (another $6 in tolls) to eat it and go to sleep.
And we're up again to sun and loving it, considering it was supposed to pour all weekend. Heading into town again for breakfast at Mike's City Diner and then going to visit the student store at Boston College. For those of you who don't know my dear husband David, he makes it a point to visit every college and get t-shirts from all of them.
Wedding tonight... should be a lot of fun.
