Boston

It always takes me a little while to post but eventually I get around to it. So a couple of weekends ago we went to Boston with our friends Bryan & Kelli Granum. We found cheap rates a couple of months ago on Jetblue and decided to make a weekend of it. So that Friday Jason and I made the trek through Time Square to meet the Granum's at their apartment. When we got there I walked up to tell the doorman what apartment we were going to, and while I was just standing there minding my own business waiting for the guy to give us the go ahead and this women standing next to me was talking on her cellphone really loud, she had huge white sunglasses but I really didn't get a good look at her. Then Jason nudges me to look at the girl, and it was Fantasia from American Idol. I must have had a surprised look on my face because the security guard started laughing when I realized who I was standing next to.


After a late arrival in Boston we checked into our room and decided to get some sleep so we could be ready for the big day ahead of us, but Jason was so impressed with the big bathtub that he had to take a bath before he could go to sleep (the first of many). The next morning Jason had to take another bath, and then we were off to meet up with the Granum's. We went to breakfast at a cute little hotel in Beacon Hill (the same neighborhood where John Kerry & Teresa Hines live) and had some amazing french toast. After breakfast we got on the subway and headed to Harvard.

It was such a beautiful campus and just as I imagined it. We started walking around but decided it would be better if we knew what we were looking at so we decided to take the "HAHVAHD" walking tour where we learned all about the famous students who attended and saw where their dorms were. After our brief history tour we were off to Fenway Park. Unfortunately we didn't find tickets so Bryan and Kelli went to the game, so we decided to walk around the harbour and check out the sites.

The harbour was beautiful as well as the Boston skyline. It was interesting to see just how different Boston is from New York. I was expecting it to have all the large skyscrapers but there wasn't that many. Boston is more of a quaint little city then a large metropolis, and we loved everything about it.

We met back up with the Granum's for dinner and afterwards Bryan wanted to take us to a dueling piano bar. While we were figuring out where to go we saw some secret security guards in the lobby of the Granum's hotel, so Jason being the little celebrity stalker he is wanted to see who they were waiting for. So we are sitting there waiting for Jason to get out of the bathroom so we could see who this famous person was and out walks Bob Saget!! He walked out and looked for someone and then got back on the elevator, it was so funny and random ... but there was still someone else because the security guards hadden't moved. Well, the important people finally came and it wasn't anyone we knew, we just figured they were royalty from another country so it really wasn't that exciting. In the mean time Jason was stuck in the bathroom with a bloody nose and was missing all the action. But then out walks Bob again so Bryan asked if Kelli and I could get a picture with him and he was a little annoyed but agreed. Finally Jason was out and we went to the piano bar. It was pretty wild and Bryan got the DJ to try and get Jason on the stage with the wild Bacholorette's but Jason wasn't a fan.


The next day was full of tours, we started with our self guided tour of the freedom trail and ended with the duck tour. It was this cute little truck/boat they call a duck that takes you around the city on land and then ends with you riding around in the boat on the Charles river. After our crazy tours, a wonderful lunch and Jason's hunt to find a cool Boston shirt we were on our way home. All that was missing was a third celebrity sighting. We loved Boston and it was so fun to go with Kelli and Bryan and see the sites, we highly recommend it to all who have never been. But you must come and see us in NY first!!!
