It's All About Boston

It was that time again. Time to get out of the city. Netter, Dancing Queen and I piled into our Subaru Tribeca to head to the wonderous city of Boston for the weekend. After a very long ride because of traffic and rain we arrived at Dancing Queen's parent's condo. We went straight to sleep because we were tired.

The next morning it was all about the Freedom Trail. We started at King's Church and made it as far as Fanheil Hall before we opted to purchase a trolley tour for the remaining sites. Just so everyone is aware...a happy trolley is a quiet trolley.

After all the Freedom touring we hopped back in the Tribeca and went to the Boston Temple, Target and PF Chang's where Dancing Queen must have shown a little leg because the manager gave us an empty table ahead of the others waiting for at least 40 minutes to be seated. Way to take one for the team Dancing Queen.

Next morning it was all about climbing aboard the boats. We toured the U.S.S. Constitution or "Old Ironsides" then heading to the U.S.S. Cassis Young. It was amazing to stand on these vessels knowing that many men through some of the roughest wars protected our country. After some Brigham's ice cream at the cafe we headed to Providence to drop off Netter and eat Cheesecake Factory and finally road tripped the rest of the way to NYC.

Overall it was a great Bostonian experience.

Love that Pic of you with that deck cannon/gun/thing. I was really scared at first. Very intimidating. If this whole job thing doesn't work out, you should definitely sign up for the navy. All you have to do is show them that pic and you are in!

I did feel somewhat powerful with the big gun. It was an homage to my brother Flex who enjoys guns. The best thing about that ship's gun is the knowledge that it is inoperable. :)
