Trip to Boston

I got to attend a conference in Boston for work, and Paul came with me to help make it more of a vacation. We had an awesome time exploring the city (well, everything except the subway which really was not fun) and spending some alone time together.

We walked the entire Freedom Trail and got to see lots of historical sites including the Old North Church, Paul Revere's house, the assembly house, old cemeteries, and the USS Constitution. We also checked out some nightlife on the waterfront, at Quincy Market, and caught the Blue Man Group stage show in the theatre district. Our only regret was not getting to Fenway because it was raining the night we had planned to head out there. The food was great - I got a lot of fresh seafood and clam "chowda" while Paul sampled all the local beers. We checked out the Union Oyster House, had drinks at the oldest tavern in the United States, and went to the Barking Crab - a restaurant that Man vs. Food featured on one of his FoodTV shows.







Paul also took a tour of the Sam Adams brewery (wish I could have gone!) and a tour of MIT, which was his favorite thing in all of Boston. He's convinced our daughter is going to go there. :) Check out this cool MIT building:
