welcome 2010

First off, let me say that I finally have an iPhone and a New York number and I am very excited about it. Jason, on the other hand, isn't loving all of the time I am devoting to my new little friend. Seriously, I didn't know what I was missing.

After the craziness of traveling over the holidays we decided to take it easy and have a low key New Years. We have been dying to see Avatar and since Lincoln Center has the only Imax in the city, almost every show was sold out but the time that overlapped the new year. So while millions were crowded in Times Square freezing, we were enjoying a little 3D on the big screen. I don't even know how to describe Avatar, so I'm not going to try, but I loved it! And I loved Jason in his HUGE 3D glasses. And I love the camerabag app, too.

After the movie we hurried home and went straight to bed so we could be up bright and early the next morning to catch the first bus to Boston. We were very excited about our hotel. A few years ago we went to Boston and stayed at the Intercontinental and since then Jason hasn't stopped talking about how amazing it was. You see, each room has a huge soaking tub that you can slide open the glass windows that separate the bathroom from the bedroom and see the flat screen. This way he could do his two favorite things, soak and watch TV, all at the same time.

So we made it to Boston, did a lot of soaking, walking up and down the quaint little snow covered streets and eating fresh seafood. We have always wanted to go to one of those authentic seafood places where you tie on the bib and crack some crab and that's exactly what we got at the Barking Crab. It was quite the experience, and I would like to point out that I am a much better cracker than Jason, I can crack my crabs and pull out the meat in one whole piece in half the time that he can:)

We had a great time in Boston, it snowed most of the time and the wind was wicked but we were happy. We are strong believers in eating the local cuisine so that is just what we do. When in Philly we eat cheese steaks, when in NY we eat pizza and when in Boston we eat clam chowda! And a we both agreed that there is nothing better than a bowl of Boston clam chowder in a homemade sourdough bread bowl on a snowy New England afternoon. Happy New Year!!
