Boston & Harvard

Stefanie and me with the Longfellow Bridge in the background and Harvard behind that.






So when two nurses have a couple of days, what do they do? Jump on a bus and take off to Boston!! Yep! It took one day to plan (well less actually). There are super cheap buses that run from NYC to Boston all day long. So Stef and me took an early bus trip on Monday up to Boston. Once we got there and checked into our amazing hotel, we walked along the Freedom Trail. It's a famous path through Boston on which Paul Revere rode to warn of the invading British soldiers. There's also really old churches and state house that where the sites of planning the Tea Party, where the Boston Massacre took place.


After a historical first day, it was time to shop and eat. Luckily, it was restaurant week in Boston. We ate at a bistro, the Melting pot, an Irish pub and two steakhouses. Amazingly good food!
This is my sandwich from the Bistro. (grilled chicken with fresh mozzarella and balsamic glaze)

We also visited Harvard University and rubbed the foot of John Harvard for good luck.
