Our Boston Trip

We began our journey to Amanda's wedding with a 1.5 day stay in Boston! I'm sad to report that we didn't get to see much due to rainy, cold and VERY windy weather. But some things that we did get to do...
  • we stayed in the Financial District at the Omni Parker House, a historic building...but then again what isn't historic about Boston?! I loved, loved, loved the architecture of every building and the feelings I had when walking through it all. 
  • walked through Quincy Market to eat at Union Oyster House, America's oldest restaurant
  • shopped at H&M - Helloooo, this is enough sightseeing for me! ;-)
  • had a good pub experience
  • saw a really cool cemetery. And by cool, I mean old, which is cool be default. This is where Samuel Adams is buried and Franklin (but not THAT Franklin. His Dad. Yes, we were confused too).
  • experience Little Italy - ohmagoodnessgood! We ate at Euno - please visit if you are ever there - absolutely delightful and I totally felt like some Mob stuff was going down at the table behind us, which is always a bonus for an authentic experience!
  • rented a "full sized" SUV for our 10 huge bags only to receive a Ford Edge, which was put together like an intricate puzzle by the boys. It was fun road tripping through the Northeast with the family! I blinked and missed New Hampshire! ;-)
Grayson's first airplane ride - he did great! (Thank God)


Grayson had his own neck pillow for the flight! Adorbs.

He absolutely loved riding on Beau's shoulders through the city!

We had a great suite, which was a HUGE bonus for a crawler!

Euno
A wine cork - 30 minutes of entertainment. Who knew?!
My lovely parents!






Any dessert that comes to me on fire is a WIN.
The hotel experienced lots of cuddle time due to the weather



We weren't proud of this spectacle.
