Boston On The Move

After talking about it for four years we’re finally here. The flight from Charlotte to Boston was uneventful (my favorite kind), a short and quick cab ride to our hotel, and after getting our bags in the room, we were off to see the sights.
Donna would like for me to tell you that we’re staying at the Fairmont Battery Wharf which provides its guests with a contemporary and sophisticated waterfront retreat. The hotel is very nice (thank you Priceline) and quiet and comfortable.
We left the hotel and found ourselves almost immediately in a festival in Little Italy celebrating Saint Something Something, with bands playing, booths set up with food, fun, and frolic, and lots of people. Since we didn’t have an agenda we just walked around.
We found ourselves at The Old North Church where “one if by land, two if by sea” happened in the church tower, we purchased a map of Boston at the gift shop, and headed out again.
Since lunch had been a short and hurried affair at the airport in Charlotte we were ready to eat dinner at 4:30 so we set out to find a restaurant. We agreed on Legal Seafood by the water. We ate too much but enjoyed the outdoor dining. The rest of the evening comprised of walking the streets, sitting in the park, a movie (Harry Potter), and a walk back down the Freedom Trail to our hotel. It was a fun day.
We’ve enjoyed walking and the weather is perfect. We haven’t decided on an agenda for today but I’m sure it will include more sightseeing. We’re having fun and enjoying our time together.
