Okay, I caved. I bought more space. I really wanted to finish blogging about vacation. Also I have an entire week of meals planned out that I can’t wait to write about and the day you’ve all been waiting for I’ve been going on and on and on about AKA my first half marathon is 9 days away. Too many important things happening to wait around figuring things out. Okay, back to the vay cay recap!
We decided to go out and do First Night in Boston. Basically, you buy a pin and it gets you into all of these different events. But before we could really get things started, we had a very important stop to make!
Okay, but seriously, we don't have Pinkberry in Phoenix, so it really is a very important stop. We have a million and one fro yo places, why oh why no Pinkberry?!
Also, Nacho had to do some family tradition including ziploc bags, beans, rice, and things we want in the new year. I still don’t really understand it, but I played along 😉
You should have seen his intent and focus putting this thing together!
Yup, that's it folks.
Come to think of it, the only thing we actually ended up using our pins for was the next stop. Whoops. We went to see an improv troupe. They were decent. The people watching was probably funnier 😉
Weird people know they're weird, so when you ask them to take their picture, they actually don't get too offended. Trust me, it happens to my dad all the time. 🙂
After the improv, Steve took this picture of me and I really like it, so I’m posting it even though it’s kind totally not necessary to my story
He was convinced the cold weather made my eyes look "cool and marbley". I don't know what that means, but there's no double chin, so good job babe!
We explored a little more of downtown Boston while finding our way to some dinner.
We ended up at this Asian noodley place that had no wait and ended up being really delicious! Lisa especially loved it.
She really did love her meal, just not the saki 😉
I ended up with a really yummy brown rice bowl thing. I know, I’m so descriptive.
Brown rice, chicken, veggies, yummmm.
After dinner, we had some drinks and then went to watch the fireworks! I really really really love fireworks! I missed out on them for a lot of 4th of July celebrations (Confession: I couldn’t figure out how to make July plural so I reworded my sentence. I swear I passed 1st grade.) while away at theatre camp (and now I’m not only not smart, I’m also a huge nerd, but I don’t care I love theatre camp!), so seeing fireworks is extra special to me. In an attempt to show me how much he listens, Steve took about a million firework pictures. Don’t worry, I’ll only show you the best 999,999 😉
Ooooohhhh
Aaaaahhhhh
I asked Steve for an alternative to ooohh and ahh and he said "That's pretty badass"
He also suggested "Spectacular"
He definitely does not have a way with words, but he can take pretty Ooohh Aahhh Badass Spectacular pictures 😉
A very belated Happy New Year everyone!
PS: A big thank you to Lisa and David for being such amazing hosts! I wish I could have spent an other month hanging with them in Boston and grossing David out by eating pureed pumpkin every morning for breakfast 🙂 I love you guys!!!
