Summer Adventures: Boston

I recently spent a long weekend in Boston with this lovely lady, my good friend Jules.  The hubs had to work and Jules boyfriend Norwood is currently going to grad school so we had a yummy food, good company, boozy girls weekend.

Jules was making margaritas.  When you make margaritas in Boston you use a large knife.  Our Ice had melted together into one solid brick. 

We even chased down the ice cream truck.  This was a first for me.  My town didn't have an ice cream man and if we did he wouldn't have driven down my creepy dead end road in the woods.  

There was s'mores making.  Although we had a lot of trouble getting the fire going.  

But once we did I made this beauty of a s'more.  

The hydrangeas were blossoming.  I couldn't help myself I started taking artsy shots of them.   

I also got to hang out with the coolest kitty around, Linus.  

It was a great four days and I always wish I had taken more pictures.  

Operation Summer Awesome: Off to Boston

To make my summer awesome I have a plan of things to do.  One of those things is visiting one of my very best friends in Boston.  I am super stoked and can't wait to see what is in store for this trip.  I'm hoping for at least sushi and beers and lots of catching up.  I haven't seen Jules since January and this will be a great trip.  Both of our guys couldn't join us, Simon has work and Norwood is attending grad school so we get to be single ladies for the weekend.  I intend to take many photos.

Back from Boston

I'm back from Boston and I feel like I ate my way through Quincy.  Jules knows some great places to eat in her neighborhood and I think that is all we really did all weekend is eat.  (But I'm always up for food and I judge a place on what I can eat and if there is yarn to buy.)  The first night in town we went to possibly the best sushi place I have ever been too I can't even begin to describe how good it was.  It was called Fuji 1546, If you ever find yourself in Quincy go eat some yummy sushi I highly recommend the spicy tuna roll, the miso soup, and this appetizer called salmon wontons.  Jules also took me to Shabu and I had my first experience with hot pot and I have decided I need to find a place in Philly that does hot pot.  

Now on to the pictures!

Jules took me to a yarn store in Boston right around the corner from where she works.  Windsor Button has everything you would need for crafting.  They also have a wall of buttons.

Such a beautiful day in the park. A great day for....

Ice Skating!  We went skating on the frog pond.  It was so much fun, I hadn't ice skated since high school.  I fell once, but that's because a small child decided to try to squeeze past me and knocked me on to the ice.

Lacing up out skates.

 And we're off Skating!

The park was decorated for the season. 

Linus the sweetest cat ever decided to climb a tree and then cry for help even though he could get down on his own. 

Jules making sure he can get down. 

All in all a great trip.  I wish Jules and woody lived closer, but it was great to go see them.  I can't wait till they come here to visit.

Off to Boston

I'm off to Boston so I'll leave you this silly Picture of Me.

I am off to Boston for a fun filled weekend to visit one of my super awesome friends who lives there.  Expect lost of Photos when I get back to Philly.  As you read this I will be about 1/3 of the way there.  I have no idea what to expect, but I'm sure it's going to be awesome!
