Spent the weekend in Boston with the fam. Flew up on Saturday morning (Jet Blue!) with Ian and my sis, but the rest of the family drove up. Did most of our site-seeing and catching up with people on Saturday. Caught the T out to the hotel while the family was hanging out at Cheers. They got back shortly after we arrived.

Went to Bartley’s for lunch, where Mr. Bartley sat outside and took our order. Hung out there with Sonny, Yenny, Ian, and DW. From there, we went to Burdick’s to introduce my sibs to their hot chocolate. Soooo good.

After that, my sibs went back to the hotel with the parents and DW, Ian, and I met up with Jessica and wandered over to the Science Museum. There was some new fancy exhibit, but we decided it was too expensive for us, especially since we were only going to be able to stay for an hour or so. Wandered off from there and went to the Dairy Fresh candy store. Oh, there was so much candy. Bought some for presents, some to share with the family, and some for us. :)

From there, we headed back to the hotel to drop off all our things before heading back out to meet up with some of Ian’s friends/former coworkers. Had dinner with them at Christopher’s, watched the Yankees lose, and caught up with even more people at Bukowski’s. Decided to head out a little before midnight and made our way back to the hotel.

Sunday, got off to a slow start. My mother and L&S had looked up a local church, so they went to attend morning services. The rest of us slept in, watched sports highlights, and got ready for fantasy football. When the churchers returned, we gathered into the car toward Fenway. We had lunch at Beer Works and everyone got to try fried pickles. Yeah, they sound weird, but they taste good. Mmm!

While we were headed there, Ian and I got to point out where we rioted 2 years ago when the Red Sox won the World Series. We watched in Beer Works, so we were right across the street from Fenway and in the Eye of the Storm.

We all headed back after lunch and loafed around until it was time for the weekend’s main event: my cousin and her husband’s wedding reception. It was so fancy — table cloths and name cards. It was a big traditional Chinese banquet, so it was a lot of drinking and a lot of really good food. She let her uncle emcee for her. I don’t know if she expected him to tell so many, uhm… jokes. ;) Lots of fun and definitely a good excuse to visit Boston for the weekend. And it’s always nice to see the cousins again.

The fam headed out after dropping Yenny, Ian, and me back off at the hotel. We spent one more night, got breakfast at the Busy Bee, then caught the T to head to the airport. Yay Jet Blue!
