Boston with my Sisters,sadly not in order.

This is how we spent most of our time, walking and waiting for public transportation. 
I loved it, so different from my life, so fun to see what it would be like to live in a big city.
At Cheers during happy hour.
All this for 21.00 bucks.

Best icecream in the world.... please come to Texas.
''
Mindy and Becky flew all night and had a family of 3 children that sat behind them and never slept. Their seats were kicked the entire flight.
They were pretty tired having only 1 hour of sleep.
By the end of the day anytime we were on the subway Mindy would be out.


I love lobster, but have never ordered an entire lobster.
I decided if I was going to spend 30 dollars on a lobster it should be in Boston where it would be super fresh.
It was yummy!
Now I can buy them at Walmart and cook them at home.
Won't be the same as Boston but will give me my lobster fix now and again.
Oh I got a girl lobster and Mindy got a boy.
You can tell when you crack them open.
Kind of gross, I know.

At the west end, also known as little Italy.
It was yummy but decided on this trip that pasta is not my favorite.
I want to love it but I really don't.



 We all wanted to see the oceon.
We were only here for about 5 minutes.
I have never been that cold in my whole life!

Where eveerybody knows your name....

Our first stop.
You can see Guy in the poster on the wall behind me.
Lobster Ravioli was pretty good, Guy said they were the best so I had to believe Guy.
I liked Megan's better,
eggplant chicken parmisianna.
The locals didn't like that Triple D's came to Rino's.
Now they have a hard time getting a seat.

Mikes Bakery
This place did not disappoint.
I have never seen anything like this, people crowded in a bakery all trying to get a canoli.
The canoli were really good, the peanut butter brownie was really good too.
Everyone kept telling me it was just like Cake Boss.

This was on our first day.
This place did not disappoint!
It was sooo good,
these are the flavors I tried over the three visits.
Boysenberry Lime
Ginger
Salty Caramel
Almond Joy
Heath
Ginger was my favorite.
My favorite thing about this place is that you sit on couches and enjoy your ice cream.
Our local Yogurt Story could use some couches.

Mindy's best friends, the Snell's live near Boston.
It was so fun to meet them.
Spending time with them was super fun.
I loved Facebooking the trip,
here we are all becoming Facebook friends so that they can look at my status.
Megan looked up and thought it was super funny.

Had my first Starbucks on this trip.
A white chocolate mocha.
No coffee added.
My friends the cooks have been raving about that hot chocolate for years.
It did not disappoint.

We are at Harvard Square.
Guy says this is a must eat at place.
I liked it but my burger was over cooked on the outside and undercooked in the middle.
I give the place 3 stars. ***
I LOVED the raspberry lime ricky, it was fantastic.
Banana Walnut Waffle from the friendly toast.
This place was crazy...they had large manican doll heads in planters, and a  large life size barbie.
I told the sisters I am going to start collecting lots of gross items from thrift stores so I can too open a diner one day.

On our way back from the Snell's. 
This is at 6:00 in the morning.


First day on the subway. 
First time ever on a subway.
If you like people watching you would like the subway.

Loved The Friendly Toast. 
I got the Walnut and Banana (pictured above)
 wish I would have ordered what Megan got, croissant breakfast sandwich with spinach and mango sour cream, with sweet potato fries.


MIT


At Cheers


My favorite part of the trip:
Getting to spend time with my sisters.
My favorite day was Sunday when we attended church in Cape Cod.
I will blog about that another day.

Cruise 2012


















 First Day on the Boat!
 The rope bridge...Dale loved it I hated it.





 Stacey wishing that this Diet Coke was real!
 King of the World!

 Jeni being Cher.  She tried out for the last show of the cruise and made it!  She was fabulous!
My favorite towel animal. 
 I walked into the room by myself and this was laying on our bed, I jumped back! 
 It was pretty awesome!
