So Butters just boarded her train to head back to the city in order to catch her plane and I am totally bummed. It has been one hell of a week.
Starting with last weekend where we attended my cousins wedding at the Thousand Island club on Wellesley Island, which was absolutely incredible. An amazing night of seeing family, dancing our arses off and drinking too many Citron and sevens.
On Monday was the big move. We packed up and left the house at 7:00. What would have taken four hours to get to my new home in Massachusetts took eight and a half hours due to a portion of the Thruway being closed. We were rerouted through a million small hicksville towns and sat in stand still traffic for hours. If you know me you know what little patience I have on a normal day. Bless Butters for keeping me calm.
The new place is great, I actually have my own washer and dryer. Again, if you know me you KNOW how much I LOVE doing laundry.
Kelly Bear likes his new home too. (Jimmy has been under the dresser for three days, couldnt get a picture)
Tuesday morning we left bright and early for our first day in Boston. After driving rush hour traffic, which by the way I cannot believe people do such a thing on a daily basis, we found a bus and headed into Cambridge to pretend it was our first day as Harvard students.
We sat in the Harvard yard for awhile watching all the gorgeous smarties walk by. I expected the students to all be wearing sportcoats and ties; dresses with sensible pumps, but no, it was a sea of skinny jeans, basketball shorts and ratty flip-flops to match their ratty hair.
oh, heres a pic of me being attacked by a grilled muenster cheese sandwich with pickles.
We took the train over the river to Boston where we spent the day lolly-gagging around like we were the shit. We walked the esplanade (where everyone runs and are hot as hell, and not because their running), we strolled the gardens and visited the Old Granery Burying Grounds were very important peeps are buried including a bunch of Franklins and Paul Revere. The headstones were creepy as all get out.
Day two we took the train in and toured the town like rockstars. Quincy Market, Fenuil Hall, Financial District, Chinatown, dinner and canolli's in the North End and the best part of the whole trip was our bike ride from the North End down along the harbor to South Station at dusk. It was truly remarkable.
This Hubway program is really neat, check it our
HERE All around the city there are these docking stations were you swipe your credit card and take a bike for as long as youd like to use it. If your a local you can use it to cross town to catch a train or if your visiting you can ride it to almost any area in Boston.
All in all the trip with Butters has been:
