Boston

Barrie and I left the baby behind and went on our trip to Boston last week! This was a Christmas gift from Barrie (I could take anyone on a trip anywhere). Well, of course I picked my husband and I chose Boston because I love history and had never been. We had a blast and had beautiful weather. Here were some items on our agenda: Boston Duck Tour, Red Sox vs. Twins game, Fenway Park Tour, Boston Common, North End Italian food, Sam Adams Brewery, Freedom Trail (lots of historic sites), Blue Man Group at Charles Playhouse, oldest restaurant in America (Union Oyster House), oldest bar in America (Bell in Hand Tavern), and Cheers. My favorite sites on the Freedom Trail were the Granary Burial Ground (where lay Paul Revere, Samuel Adams, James Otis and Mother Goose), the Old State House, and the Old North Church. We also met up with one of Barrie's dental school buddies, Steve, and his girlfriend ... it was awesome to see them. Although we had a fabulous time, it was SO GOOD to get home and see our sweet Jackson!

Nobody knew our name at Cheers :(

Fenway Park! Gotta love $8 beers and singing Sweet Caroline.
