A weekend Boston Teaparty


My love had these awaiting in our bedroom, rivaling the chocolates from here
(my favorites: the ginger and the lavender)


View from the hotel








Creamy avocado beverage with slimy black balls at the bottom and a straw big enough for them to slide right into my mouth!


View from the Prudential building





Fresh snow on a Boston graveyard


The wave do


Extra set of utensils, a horseshoe [and a carrot?]


Sisters.......We dragged these two around and they were kind enough to do whatever we wanted







I learned three things:
[1]  Church without kids [or a calling] is a very relaxing, enjoyable experience
[2]  I am really funny without kids
[3]  We enjoy being without them even more because we know we get to come home to them

  2. Boston has such a rich, old, hearty feeling to it. It's one of my favorite cities.

  3. OH MY. Katy.
    I have been wanting to go to Boston for months now...mostly just to eat at Giacmo's. BEST pumpkin ravioli's I've ever had. Perhaps your lovely pics filled my East Coast needs :).
    What a gorgeous recap. I truly love your photography. I'm always excited to check out your site!

    Thank you for the comment on the aqua velvet dress. loved it all :)
    And yes, I think I need to make it in every color.

    Hey, btw, what's your email address? (if you don't mind sharing of course) I often want to respond to your comments, but can't find your address.

    Thanks!

  4. Dana! I HAD THE PUMPKIN RAVIOLI AT GIACOMO'S! (and yes, I'm yelling it because it was my absolute favorite culinary choice of the whole trip.) I love that you've had it.

  10. Liz--so glad you're familiar with the beverage. It was yum.
    Ashley--yes! so fun to wear my wool Zara coat, and packing for one, my suitcase was mostly empty, especially when I took my coat out to wear!
    Dad--The embedded silverware were in front of a restaurant. I'm not sure the significance of the horseshoe or carrot.

  13. Question
    What were you doing there?
    Demand
    I want those chocolates.
    Truth, written.
    That photo of the sisters is one of your finest yet.
    Regret
    I wish I would have been able to meet you there.

  15. Pumpkin ravioli sounds wonderful! I have really enjoyed butternut squash ravioli in the past, but I so love the flavor of pumpkin that I am excited to hear about and seek out this culinary treat.
    Also, in response to #2, you ARE funny! I know that, and I barely get to spend any time with you! :)
