Ross and I spent this past weekend in Boston, crossing another item off of my 101 Things list. The hubs had business in Beantown and we thought tagging on a weekend trip would be a great idea. We flew up to Boston early on Saturday morning and by 10am, we were sitting at the Sam Adams Brewery in Jamaica Plains, waiting to sample some Boston lager.
After a great tour of the Brewery, we stopped for lunch at Doyle's (where the beginning scene of the movie
21 was filmed). The place was quaint and has been around for over 100 years. We decided to head back to the hotel to check in and take a quick nap before heading out to explore the rest of the city. We stayed in the Financial District and walked to
Quincy Market, then through the North End. As we walked, we saw signs announcing the filming of Ben Affleck's
new movie and a large Eastern European tour group. Not knowing where the heck we were, we followed the tour group to the Old North Church.
I'm not sure if I mentioned that it was also freezing in Boston. No, really! It snowed on Sunday. That's night, after a night on the town on Saturday and sleeping in, we woke up to heavy rain and the general idea that going out and roaming through the city would be a wet nightmare. We did manage to go and eat in the North End at La Famigilia, a quaint little Italian places where I had chicken parmigiana that would have served four people. And we got some treats from Mike's Pastry. Then we went into a food coma. Sunday night we got to see a Improv Asylum show and enjoy some lighter fare at a cute little restaurant called Hot Tomatoes.
Overall, it was a pretty fabulous weekend. This week, I've been catching up on things at work, hitting the gym pretty hard, and watching all the stuff I've DVRed over the past week. We're laying low this coming weekend, hitting our local diabetes walk, and going to pick out Lil Tuck's Halloween costume!
