We flew to Boston Saturday morning and are flying back home today. We had no particular reason to come here, but couldn't think of a good reason not to come, either.
Saturday night we wandered amidst the party crowds in Quincy Market before having a great Thai dinner in Cambridge, near where we're staying. Sunday we spent most of the day at the Museum of Fine Arts, marveling at the John Singer Sargent portraits. I especially love the one of Mrs. Inches; I could stand and stare at her for hours on end.
For dinner, we headed to the North End for a pizza at Regina.
We had planned to do more museum-ing on Sunday but, waking up to beautiful blue skies and crisp temperatures, realized it would be silly to spend the day inside. So, transit passes in hand, we set out to explore Boston. We started in Cambridge, where we wandered around Harvard, then back to Lechmere, the park at CambridgeSide Galleria, along the Charles River to Longfellow Bridge and out Broadway to Kendall Square. From there we took the Red Line back to Boston Common, rode a Swan Boat in the Public Garden, ogled the Sargent murals in the Boston Public Library, then made our way up to the Aquarium.
We finished the day with a couple of ferry rides to Charlestown Navy Yard and back and a very pleasant dinner at Legal Sea Foods. To finish our meal, and complete our stay, I had some delicious Boston Cream pie.
If you'd like to see more, here's my Flickr snaps from the trip.
