Fenway Park Photos

While in Boston last weekend, Brad’s brother and sister-in-law took us to walk around Fenway Park, home of the Boston Red Sox. I’m not a sports fan by any means, but I still enjoy being around city culture, and it’d be crazy not to say that the Red Sox are a gigantic part of Boston culture. The tour was a bit pricey, so we settled for wandering around the perimeter and enjoying some beers at the Bleacher Bar, where we got great seats at a table right around home plate, which was visible through the window.

I may not be a baseball/sports fan, but I can still appreciate the vibe at Fenway Park. I absolutely love the old-school signage surrounding the stadium. It was one of my favorite parts of the trip, seeing this huge piece of history and excitement. I enjoyed a Sam Adams in Fenway Park.
Touristy, but true.

I love seeing new things.

A Long Weekend in Boston

Hello! We are back from Boston and back to the grind. It was a three-day weekend, a mini vacation, where the days seemed never-ending but also went by way too fast. As I sit here typing this, I can’t believe we are back already, that the weekend and the trip are both over.

I really enjoy Boston! This time, I saw some different sights. Harvard campus, Fenway Park, and a lot of Somerville (which is where Brad’s brother and sister-in-law live). Carrying my big camera seemed like such a burden with all the walking we did, so a lot of my pictures are from my iPhone. I didn’t really have time to edit them, as I forgot my phone charger and we were all fighting over them (thank God we all have iPhones!) and our phones kept dying. But their great anyway. I did get some photos (mostly of Fenway) with the Rebel. I’ll post them soon.
For now, here are some of my favorites from the iPhone.

One of my favorite parts of traveling is trying great restaurants. We went to The Friendly Toast, which is this super cute and kitschy breakfast/lunch/brunch place. They specialize in…hello..TOAST. I had a massive turkey club that hit the spot. We also went to
Highland Kitchen, another cute place with good food and good drinks. Finally, our last meal was at Neighborhood Restaurant. The menu may not look like the menu of a special place, it’s teensy, and it’s nothing fancy, but there’s actually a wait to get in. Because it’s that delicious.

Hope everyone had a great weekend!

Here We Come…

On Saturday, I will be heading with Brad and his parents to Boston for my second trip there! I’m really excited.
I’m hoping all my sick-y feelings go away so I can fully enjoy the trip. Been doing lots of rest to prepare.

It’s been almost a year since the last time, and we had to keep it a secret since we were attending Brad’s brother’s surprise party. This time, I can shout it from the rooftops. I haven’t, but I guess publishing it here on the blog is kind of a milder version of that. I can’t wait to take and share more photos of our trip, and just enjoy myself. I really need it. The escape, the long weekend…I think getting out of town and getting far away from work will be a great remedy for all the funky feelings I have been having lately.

Sight-Seeing

So, in Boston, I’ll admit I didn’t even cover half of the bases most people probably would on their first visit. There are many historical stops I didn’t see, areas I didn’t get to venture into. But what can you do? I will say this…what I did see was absolutely beautiful. Brick roads, trees and tunnels decorated with beautiful lights, a cotton candy sunset over the dock, and one truly breathtaking skyline.

I was maybe moved to tears on Saturday night, after seeing all the sights.
I’m such a crybaby.

Boston

I can finally tell all y’all blog readers that I was in Boston for a long weekend! The reason I couldn’t before is because I went with Brad and his parents as a surprise for his brother’s birthday! It was tough, considering I love Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc… but I couldn’t run the risk of ruining a surprise party! It was my first time in Boston and I had a total blast. There’s still so much more I’d like to see, but we got a lot done in a short amount of time. And there is absolutely no doubt that Brad’s brother was completely and utterly shocked to see his family at his surprise birthday party! I have SO MANY PICTURES…these will have to do for now.

I’ll have to share more with you throughout the week…I took about 500 altogether. What a lovely weekend!
Time to get back in the swing.
