| Day 1 | |
| We left Fres-yes on Tuesday morning at 5am (note that the tempature is already 75 degrees - gotta love July in the valley!) |  |
 | To assist with my insane fear of flying, Matt promptly ordered me a Bloody Mary as soon as we got checked in. Ah the man knows the way to my heart. |
| After a mellow flight over, we got to the hotel and were pretty much exhausted (check out the view from the room.) We ended up walking about 200 feet to a pub and ate while watching the All-Star game (one of the more entertaining games in recent history, in my humble opinion.) |   Can we please talk about how much my hair HATED the humidity?!? |
    | After my conference on Wednesday, we strolled through Boston Common to the original Cheers, the Bull & Finch Pub. Cool place, but loaded with tourists (HI! Can you take our photo please?!?) We ended up having a few rounds of Bunker Hill Blueberry Ale which was to DIE for (I may have to pay one of you on the East Coast to ship Matt and I a 12-er of this!!!). We stayed for awhile because we were chatting with some fellow travelers from Ohio and South Carolina (side note: We didn't meet any other travelers from California during the entire trip). |
| Since I had been talking about oysters pretty much non-stop since we left Fres-yes (i LOVE LOVE LOVE them), we decided to hit Legal Seafood for dinner and these babies were all mine. I was in heaven. |  |
| Day 2 | |
   | I had more conferencey stuff, but we were able to get out for a bit because Matt walked holes in his shoes the day before and needed a new pair, and I wanted to check out Windsor Button (MUCHO thanks for the recommendations - I was not disappointed!) I picked up a few goodies which I will get to later, but was the most excitied about finding Norah Gaughn's Collection #1. That night we had a dinner at the Boston State Room (AMAZING views) and then hung out at Whiskey Park getting a little tipsy with other conference folks. |
Part II coming when I don't have to be at work in 10 minutes.

I always think about these things after the fact - did you go to Filene's Basement? I love that you don't have to leave the T station to get to it. How about Sam Adams?
I miss Boston. *sigh*
I love oysters, too! We had a vacation in Washington and Oregon once and had to drive through South Bend, the Oyster Capitol of the world. Yum!!! Boston looks fun! My husband has family back east, I think I would like to go visit there one day.
So glad you had a good trip. Wish I could have driven down to see you!
