Boston Baby!

About 6-ish years ago I traveled to Boston for the first time and fell in love with it, completely fell in love! Lucky for us Jack's sister and her family have been living out there and they give us the best reason to visit! Even though this is our 4th time in the city, to me, it just never gets old and it always brings a huge smile to my face. This year we drove out for the first time - took us 20 hours (rest-stops for Sadie and us included) and we did it in 1 day...we will never do that again!!! While the drive was killer, it gave us two days to spend with our good friends, Kim and Ryan. Ryan was one of Jack's best-men and Kim was one of my bridesmaids...3 years later they're still together (compliments of our wedding, haha!!) They moved out there about a year ago, which now gives us two awesome reasons to visit Boston!!! A little recap of our fun times in Boston with great friends!! This was also Sadie's 1st trip to Boston and I made sure she hit all my favorite spots! :)

Then we ventured off to Cambridge (just over the bridge) to Harvard. Last time we were there it was a gloomy day and I was a little less than impressed with the campus. I wanted to give it a second chance to impress me...and it did, but Notre Dame is still the prettiest and most impressive campus in my mind!! Sadie enjoyed it though - she felt quite studious! After that we walked around Harvard Square - a true favorite of mine - and tried a PinkBerry frozen yogurt for the first time, which was very tasty!!

That night we went out to eat in the "North End" which is basically Italy in Boston! Walking down the cobblestone streets with all the old buildings, no chain restaurants, felt like we were in Harry Potter walking to get our wands, haha! It was really neat and love that every restaurant is unique and not a chain! We went to Ryan and Kim's favorite place and WOW was it ever amazing!! After we went and got canolis from a shop that had a line out the door - needless to say, I can see why, mmmm good!!

The next day we took in a Red Sox game at the famous Fenway Park!! Before hand we went to a local brewery right across the street from the ballpark - great food and drinks!!

AWESOME two days with our friends in my favorite city!!
