Back from Boston.....

I spent the weekend in Boston with Joe, and a few of our friends.... we went for the UCF vs Boston College game; but got there a couple days before that so we could see the city as well. We got in Thursday evening, so we didn't do much that night. Friday was spent doing all the "tourist" stuff...we took the "Boston Duck Tour", which is a tour of the city in an amphibious vehicle; so we toured the city by land and then drove right into the bay and toured that area. We ate lunch at Cheers, which looks the same (as the TV show) on the outside, but not on the inside, of course. And then just walked the city for the rest of the day. Had a great dinner on Friday evening at Smith & Wellensky's...anyone ever eaten there??? It was awesome and we had the BIGGEST piece of chocolate cake I've ever seen, shared between 7 of us!! Saturday was the football game, which did not have the outcome that we wanted...... UCF was sorely beaten!!!! And then we went home Sunday; and we got home early enough to get unpacked, wash clothes & still have the rest of the day to get back into the swing of things!!! i really enjoyed Boston...it was a fast paced city, but the people were very nice!!



Our tour vehicle....

Ready to "Quack, Quack" (if you've ever taken this tour, you'll know what I mean)

I just love this church...isn't it beautiful

Where everybody knows your name.....

And their always glad you came.....
On our way out to dinner
This is the GIANT chocolate cake (this picture does not do it justice)
At Boston College, ready for the game....
Before it got real bad

And just because this is so cute............. This is a pic that Grama took while Angie stayed with her over the weekend. She taught Ang how to twirl her spaghetti, but she still hadn't mastered it yet.

I would love to go to Boston...one of the places I want to visit.

And the pic of your daughter; that is exactly how my daughter looks eating her fave spaghetti and meatballs!
