Over Labor Day Weekend, we spent the most wonderful vacation in this fabulous city:
Boston
With these fabulous people:
My sister & brother in law
We had a blast shopping on Newbury Street, including a stop at:
Where I got myself a great necklace & earrings set as a little pressie to myself.
Then, we made the annual trip to take Hope's picture on the Ducklings in the Public Garden:
Quite a bit different from the first photo that we took 2 years ago:
We ate so well:
If you are ever in Somerville, MA, you must go to this place. We had sundried tomato, spinach & cheese ravioli. Amazing.
Just a few blocks away is the Soleil Cafe:
An Italian cafe run by an Italian family. The cookies! The gelato! The latte! Though, they did seem hesitant to make me a latte, because a cappucino is really more authentic. These folks are the real stuff. A wonderful place run by wonderful people. Terri & Ez, I'm so jealous that its 2 minutes from your house.
And, let's not forget The Danish Pastry House , just over the hill in Medford. I cannot fully describe (and their website doesn't sufficiently show) the range of phenomenal pastries at this shop. Not to mention a full range of lunch time food that makes you feel a little less guilty for eating a rum ball :)
We took a side trip to Portsmouth New Hampshire, where we met up with my oldest friend & her adorable son who is exactly 6 months younger than Hope. We took advantage of the The Portsmouth Brewery:
For those beer lovers out there, these are the people who bring you Smutty Nose microbrews.
And, took in the views of the harbor:
As you can tell from my enthusiastic descriptions, we didn't want to leave. More Please!!
Looks like you had a wonderful time, with great people, and great food!!
Have a good week,
Rosemary

Aw shucks! I have been terrible about keeping up with blogs. We had a great time with you, too! Yes, more please!
I'm going to hang on to that picture of me and Ez so I can look at it later on and say, "Look how much healthier we are now than we were then!!" Yoiks.
