We headed straight to Newbury Street for lunch at Joe's Bar & Grill. Our hilarious waiter accurately coined our situation - day drunk! Awesome drinks.
Then over to Sweet to sing Happy Birthday to John and enjoy some tasty treats. Lee & I loved the frosting shots!!
A little stroll through Boston Common before we raced back to the hotel to get ready for the game.
The boys were in heaven when we got to Fenway Park for some baseball. The Red Sox hosted the Chicago Cubs - something that hasn't occurred since 1918! It was packed! The weather, the seats and the game were perfect! The Sox won 15-5. Haley and I made frequent beer runs for the guys (Guinness on tap) and enjoyed some yummy clam chowder to stay warm.
Day 2 started with a 6 mile run along the Charles River - past MIT and along the back bay. We discovered the Earth Day Festival where we scored plenty of food for a picnic in the Boston Common park.
And then of course we walked the Freedom Trail! We made a pit stop at the oldest pub in America, The Bell in Hand. Our last stops were Paul Revere's House and the Old North Church where he lit the signals to warn that the British were coming.
Sadly, no pictures of the obscene amount of cannolis we bought at Mike's Pastry shop in the North End. Oreo, peanut butter, amaretto, chocolate hazelnut and chocolate creme. And yes...we ate them all! We hit the North End for some Italian food and drinks.
Our last day started with a 5 mile run to Harvard University and around Cambridge. It was cold the last day but still a great way to see the city. We ate some great seafood, walked through the park again and then took the T back to the airport.
Another fantastic trip with our wonderful friends! Thanks Lee & Haley for everything!!
