Beantown Roadtrip

One of the great things about living in the Northeast is there are so many fun places that are within driving distance from us. One of the great places we'd never been before was Boston so we along with our buddies Jeff & Cindy Thompson decided to make a road trip of it. Since three of the four of us are unemployed we decided to see how we could do this on the cheap and still hit the major things we needed to see. It was a quick Friday evening to Sunday afternoon but we did it!

For those of you who have been to Boston you know that you can't do Boston without at least three things: Fenway Park, Clam Chowder, and JFK. Saturday was a busy day of walking the Freedom Trail so that we could see all the historic buildings and eating lunch at the oldest constant running restaurant in America...Ye Old Union Oyster House. Later that afternoon we toured the JFK Presidential Library which I thought was really cool. Saturday evening we rocked out Harvard Square so that we could see the university and eat some Cajun/Mexican food...it was seriously spicy.

Sunday we got up and on our way home took a tour of the oldest US battleship the USS Constitution, had lunch at the House of Blues and saw Fenway Park. We had a great time and did it all for about $250! Who says you can't have a cheap vacation!

Side Note: Chris failed to mention that we also got to visit a childhood friend of mine. Rachel & I have been friends since sometime in Elementary school. We recently reconnected. It was great to see her and meet her husband Stephen and new baby girl Marlee. We rarely see each other, but always enjoy catching up! Here is to seeing each other before another ten years passed :)
