Kevin and I went up to Boston over Martin Luther King, Jr Weekend. The main purpose of the trip was to visit his family, who we hadn't been able to see over the holidays. But we ended up spending time with a whole bunch of Mudders, too.
We flew up Friday after work and got into the city a bit late. After renting a car we found our way to the friends we were staying with. It turns out that GPS is less than useful in Boston thanks to the Big Dig, but I was smart enough to pull up directions before we went underground. Once we'd dropped off our stuff we walked over to a delicious BBQ place for drinks and dinner.
Saturday was a day of drinking and board games. We went to a delicious brunch place with the largest mimosas I've ever seen. Sadly it was drizzling on the walk over which had turned into a heavy rain/snow for the walk back. I hadn't been anticipating this weather and ended up trudging along in my soaked sneakers, which may well be ruined. Then we lost Pandemic a bunch of times and watched Lilo and Stitch, because I still hadn't seen it yet. That night we went out for delicious burgers, then played Cards Against Humanity and Beer-Jenga.
Sunday was the family day, so we drove out to the suburbs for Chinese food and football. Kevin's family are all Patriots fans, so they were pretty disappointed by the outcome of the game. But our hosts are both Broncos fans, so they were really happy when we got back to their place. We watched the end of the Seahawks/Niners game back in the city and then accidentally watched The Following because no one turned the TV off after the game was over.
It was a pretty quick trip. I'm surprised at how many people we were actually able to visit with. It helps that everyone who lives in Boston seems to live within a mile of each other, so no one had to travel too far. Now we just need to get back there when it's a bit warmer so we can enjoy the city some more.
