On Saturday, we headed up to Boston for the Red Sox home opener. We stayed at Beacon XV. Was a great boutique hotel right on Beacon Street. It felt more like an apartment then a hotel room. Saturday afternoon we headed over to the Museum of Fine Arts to check out the time tech capsule that had recently been unearthed. It was a great museum and the time capsule was interesting - mostly coins and some newspaper clippings.
After the museum, we headed back to Beacon Street and met up with some friends at a dive bar. We shared some good local beers and oysters. Then we headed to Emmett's pub for dinner with our Boston friends and family. The dinner was great. It was so fun
to have everybody in the same place. We missed those who are not able to join us.
On Sunday we had a good breakfast near our hotel and then we headed off to tour the city on a duck boat. I hadn't been on one before so it was really fun. After the duck boats we wandered around Boston doing lots of fun exploring. We met up with our friends Brenda and Kevin at a barbecue restaurant - Sweet Cheeks BBQ - Glenn have been wanting to try. The chef is Tiffany from the first season of Top Chef. Her claim to fame is the biscuits and they were very good.
Monday was the big game day. Unfortunately Glenn sister broke her foot so she wasn't able to go. I got to take her place. It was a beautiful day for baseball. We had lunch at Sweet Caroline's and then headed into the game. Tom Brady threw out the first pitch. Children's choir sang the national anthem. And the Red Sox won. We headed to a great Italian restaurant and then had a beer at the oldest tavern in Boston.
Tuesday we took the first flight back to Florida. Overall, it was a wonderful weekend seeing all of our great friends and family.
