Boston Getaway

Well, here I sit. Alone on an airplane. I honestly don't remember the last time this happened. A flight where a child wasn't crawling on my lap, pulling on my hair, demanding entertainment and attention. Don't get me wrong, I'm grateful for each and every flight we've taken our babies on and the opportunity to introduce them to my love for travel and adventure. But, i would be lying if I didn't admit that traveling with youngsters is hard work. So, I'm relishing in the fact that I have no one but myself to entertain this flight. :)

Boston. A long awaited weekend getaway with just me and my love. We knew it would be a short trip for me as I was hitchhiking onto a business trip TJ had to take. And, as much work as the youngsters are... I can't be away from them for too long!! 

So, we had just over 48 hours to tour the city, reconnect as hubby and wifey and find time to eat, sleep and relax in there too. 

What a joy it was to wake up Saturday morning in our hotel, knowing we were on our own agenda and a plethora of options before us. We ate some delicious onion rings at the Parish Cafe; two days later and I still want another order! 

We explored the kiosks and wonder of the intimate grocery store and the basement wine cellar. We shopped, ate some more and even managed to squeeze in a nap! This is my kind of getaway!!!

 

Sunday, we slept in again (awesome to wake at 9am!!!), ventured to HARH VARD as the locals pronounce it, toured the campus of the elite and pretended to be smart and wealthy for a few hours. Upon researching that tuition is $60,000 per year and witnesses students studying stem cell research, I realized even pretending here was a bit out of my league. :) 

We explored the trains, visited the worlds only Curious George store, walked in the park, and ate at the famous Cheers pub. 

And now I'm flying home for some very important cuddles with my little ones. I am so incredibly grateful for this past weekend and to my mom and in laws for making this dream a reality!!! You guys are awesome!
