Livin the life I LOVE: boston.

i love boston!! i love the accents, i love how nice people are and i especially appreciate how clean the city and T (subway) are. it's so unlike new york, it's ridiculous. we arrived late and we had rented a condo about 10 miles outside of boston in a place called arlington. well the taxi driver got lost and both my mom and i were thinking "great, this place doesn't even exist... we've been scammed" finally after my trusty phone getting us directions and a mere $75 cab ride later, we got there. it was the nicest place i had ever stayed. it was immaculate and had everything you could ever want, the pictures don't even do it justice. if ever you go, you must stay at this place!

our first day there we took a tour of fenway pahk, ate a delicious lobstah roll and went to the boston vs. yankees game. while we were on the pahk tour, the guide was telling us about the history of the stadium and bob costas just walked right on by. we took the last tour of the day and had some time to waste before the game so we decided to go to this restaurant that was close by and get a drink. well when we walked in, these 2 old guys waved us over and we got to talking to them and they asked which section we were sitting in and told us if some seats by them didn't fill up, they would come find us and we could sit by them. well sure enough, half way through the game, dear ol john came and found us and they had awesome seats... about 15 rows from home plate. john kept asking us "how are you liking boston?" "are you having fun at the game?" he wanted to make sure that we were having fun, he even bought us some raffle tickets to win $10,000. sadly, the people finally came and we had to go back to our not so good seats. the game was a lot of fun still, we went early and watched the players warm up. we were reallllly close to jeter but a.rod was hurt so he wasn't playing :( the yankees won, 4-2

day 2 in boston we decided to go to mahtha's vinyahd. well, we had no idea how long it would take us to get there but neither of us thought that it would take 4 hours!! we took the bus to the T and then another bus to the ferry, so we didn't get to spend as much time as we would've liked there but we still had fun. we laid on the beach for a bit and then walked around and got some fish and chips. best fish and chips ever! they were perfectly breaded and not too greezy and then of course we had to have dessert, so we got some ice cream. mother got strawberry cheesecake, i got cake battah. you wouldn't believe how much ice cream they have on mahtha's vinyahd! i was in ice cream heaven :) the hard part was trying to decide which place had the best but i think we done good.

day 3, we did the freedom trail and saw a little bit of boston history. we ate at the oldest restaurant in america, the oyster house and had some of their famous clam chowdah. it was creamy delicousness. we walked around a whole lot and worked up a huge appetite for our 3 course dinner at the parker house restaurant, the place responsible for the first boston cream pie. it was also where, if i'm not mistaken, emeril lagasse was a sous chef. they also have amazing homemade rolls like my grandma makes with buttah buttah and mo buttah... but my gram makes them better:) we had french onion soup, steak with mini veggies (they were were mini replicas of the regular version... so cute!) and boston cream pie. it was all fantastic! the perfect meal to end our vacay.
