Dear Friends and Family,
We went to Boston for the weekend. Our neighbors from the mouse house had a long weekend and were out there as well. We flew in Friday night and landed close to midnight. After getting our bags and our rental car, we headed to a friend's place to drop off some deep dish pizza and apple soda. (He stored the pizza in his fridge over the weekend for us.) I was starving, so we went to The International House of Pancakes before checking into our hotel.
Saturday morning, we headed into Boston and met up with the neighbors and my friend for dim sum. It was a first time for everyone. The barbecue pork was a big hit as usual. For me, it was a chance to do dim sum sans pork. Dim sum was tough to do without eating pork. The two toughest for me were the turnip cakes which have chunks of pork in them (I was able to pick out the pork) and the congee which has shreds of pork in it (I was able to pick out about 50% of the pork). To be honest, not eating pork makes dim sum easier, points wise. It's always a points buster and by limiting the number of dishes, it makes it a lot more doable. Anyway, I've got a ton to write about, so moving on...
We headed to Harvard to walk the campus. And, afterwards, we sat on the banks of the river to catch an afternoon snack, some rays and the Head of the Charles. The weather was sunny and warm all weekend. Next, we went for some of Mr. mouse's favorite ice cream. Then, we headed to MIT to walk the campus there. And, last but not least, we drove through the Back Bay area before heading to dinner on the North End. Dinner was at a tiny restaurant that Mr. mouse found online. Next, we headed out for cannolis to bring back to our hotel room for dessert. The neighbors came over and we enjoyed a glass of wine before turning in for the night.
Sunday morning, the Dad had to head out to the airport early. But, the Mom and Daughter met up with Mr. mouse and me for breakfast. We went to a bakery that one of Mr. mouse's friend's friend started up. It was the cutest place. I'll have to do a slew of food reviews later this week. We dropped off the Mom and Daughter at the airport. We picked up the pizza. We headed out to see one of Mr. mouse's friends who lives in the suburbs of Boston.
They have two children. The older of the two was born when Mr. mouse and I got married. And, she's grown a ton since then. She's the cutest button ever. And, she's amazingly articulate for her age. She's at a fun age. And, she has a younger brother. He's four years younger. He's a little shy when he first sees you, but once he opens up, he's crawling all over you. We played with them for the afternoon. And, fortunately, our flight was delayed by an hour, so we had some extra time with them before heading to the airport.
Flew home. Head a humongous fight with Mr. mouse over the stupidest of topics. Made up. Ate desert. And, turned in for the night.
Cheers!

PS: I forgot how much work you get done when traveling. The flights are an excellent time to catch up on stuff.
