Boston

At the end of June, Dennis and I took our first trip sans Owen.  Our friends were getting married in Boston so we figured we'd make a little weekend trip out of it.  I was born in Boston but I haven't been back there since I was about 2 years old. 
Unfortunately the weather was pretty gross the whole time we were there.  It was chilly and rainy/drizzly the whole time.  The sun came out when we got the airport to come back home (ugh!)

We literally went right to the Sam Adams brewery when we arrived in Boston.  Yeah we like beer.  We wanted to do the tour on Friday as opposed to crazy Saturday, so we wasted no time.

After the tour of the brewery you get to sample the different beers.  This was the fun part.  We hadn't had anything to eat since 6 am and then drank some samples quickly...yikes.

After the tour you can take a party trolley (note the disco ball) from the brewery to a local pub called Doyles.  They had the best chowder and reubens ever.  Dennis was in Irish boy heaven.  We checked into the hotel, took our first nap in the past few years and got ready for the wedding.

The wedding and reception were on this boat.  The brides are my very good friends from PT school who have been together for many years.  It was so nice to see all my friends from school.

The wedding was on the top of the ship and was very nice.  Then we moved downstairs for the reception and the boat took off.

Me and my old-time study buddies!  We definitely danced our butts off!

The next day we did all the Boston touristy things.  We took a trolley tour through all the fun stops in the city. 

We saw some fun street performers

The USS Constitution

Boston Common

Ate some delicious seafood

Walked by the waterfront.
Then we hightailed it back to the airport to head back to Buffalo and our little boy.  Don't worry-he hardly missed us because he had so much fun with Grandma.
