They are here from Florida this week enjoying a little
R&R before Kevin starts his residency in July. I really want them to have a good time in
Boston. They're staying with me and my
house is a bit of a wreck – remember I was in Chicago all weekend. Their bed wasn’t even made when they got in
on Sunday night! But they are laid
back and in their twenties so they can roll with these missteps.
Courtney is an attorney and was a history
major (I think) for undergrad so I thought she would appreciate some of the
great sites in Boston. So yesterday, we
did some touristy stuff in the city-- but not too touristy. We went to the
Granary Burial Ground, saw Sam Adam’s grave, rode the subway, walked the Public
Garden, enjoyed a swan boat ride, & window shopped on Newbury Street. Later we drank a Sam Adams --- weird after
seeing his grave moments earlier -- and had dinner at the Russell House Tavern
in Cambridge. YUM…. Oh Courtney and I also snuck away from the
boys to do a little shopping and I tried to convince her that hats look good on
her, but she wasn’t buying it. (literally or figuratively) This would be a great place to insert a
picture of her in a hat, but I didn’t take one.
Dangit.
Our dinner conversation drifted to all things medical. I was
grilling Kevin on every organ, it’s location, size, functions, possible
failures, etc. Now I know that your pancreas is the size of a bratwurst. And so do you!
PS. Courtney is NOT a picky eater. (really she is)
I was going to say that my bed was made when I arrived but after the picky eater comment I take it back. I am not a picky eater. I just have a bad reputation a la Joan Jett
ReplyDeleteBut I did say that "YOU ROCKED" AND that you looked good in hats....which you totally do! You should just own your pickyness and move forward with it.....today....oysters...or some other form of shellfish/seafood. we will see about that pickyness then.
