{Travel} Paul McCartney Concert at Fenway & Weekend in Boston

We had one, last weekend in Boston and it was a fun one. Mr. Click got tickets to see Paul McCartney at Fenway Park in June so we made a weekend out of it even though it was mid-week!

We took our time getting up to Boston(no rushing to a graduation ceremony!!). It felt kind of strange not going up to see our daughter but she had already moved out of her place. We had lunch at Eva on Newberry Street. It was such a gorgeous day to eat outside and people watch.

We had some time to relax back at the hotel and then walked over to Fenway. The line was SO long but it moved quickly once they opened the gates.

Back at Fenway! Weren't we just here?

Hubs got his "Macca" shirt so he was set for the show!

They did another card stunt (like at College Girl's graduation) but this time for Sir Paul. It was fun!

The show was amazing and it was fun to sing along with so many of his hits through the years. He was turning 80 that week and blew our minds with his energy and talent.

It was awesome to be able to walk to and from the concert venue from our hotel. We high tailed it out of there when it was over to get to our beloved Bukowski's for one last beer and some snacks. It was crowded and we sat at the bar near the Wheel of Indecision.

The next day we did some final cleaning up/moving out at CG's apartment and then headed out to do the Freedom Trail.

We did the Freedom Trail four years ago when our daughter was in Boston for orientation. This time we got an audio tour to go with it.

We learned so much more this time, we listened to it again on the way home because sometimes it was hard to hear with so much going on around us.

Paul Revere is buried here at the Granary Burying Ground as well some other notable Revolutionaries (but not Ben Franklin, even though there is a big Franklin memorial..he's in Philly!).

We stopped for an Italian lunch in the North End (can't remember the name of the restaurant!).

Making a stop in Quincy Market ...it feels like a farewell tour for sure!

This time we made it to the USS Constitution on the trail.

It's pretty cool that you can just climb on (after going through security) and explore a bit.

We stopped in at another place I'd always wanted to check out... Bell In Hand Tavern, American's oldest tavern.

Ready to go out to dinner elevator selfie.

We didn't feel like going too far for dinner and Lucie was practically across the street from our hotel. I got the cauliflower steak and sweet potato fries.

Hey, look we can use a self timer!

We did one more walk around the city before ending our perfect "weekend". We'll miss you, Boston!

Graduation Week

I've been putting off this post because I have so many photos and so few words but here goes! We spent a week in Boston celebrating College Girl back in May.

We drove up and went straight to her first ceremony for her individual college.

Celebrating her first graduation of the week! We actually got to hear her name and see her walk across the stage to accept her diploma.

We hit up the hospitality hub after the ceremony with the other families. There were tasty refreshments and lots of fun photo ops.

Walking home with our grad. I had to get some of those beautiful flowering trees in the shot.

We changed into comfy clothes and met up with her for dinner in our hotel.

We got up early and went on campus to take some of her graduation photos.

We walked around campus, finding all of the prime photo spots.

More pretty flowers!

Heading to a reception for her major.

Stopping at the hub for more photos.

We had brunch at Tatte one day.

Took selfies in a restaurant bathroom mirror.

We had dinner in Seaport when City Girl got into town.

Dinner at Lolita. Always a treat!

The whole class graduation was held at Fenway Park.

Proud parents!

Waiting for the graduates to file in. I was pretty impressed that my toenails matched my dress so well.

Here they come!

At one point in the ceremony we all flipped over cards on our seats to send this message to the grads. It was so cool. (*not my photo)

A family photo before heading to dinner and home the next day. What a bittersweet and whirlwind of a week!

{Travel} Springtime Boston Visit

I'm still catching up on my blog posts, do we still even want them? Well I do so here goes. We had a trip to Boston to visit College Girl back in April.

It started with a latte from Tatte. See what I did there?

These have become my favorite jeans and I wear them constantly.

A view from the hotel.

We went the week before Easter because the Boston Marathon was the following weekend and hotel rooms were crazy expensive and hard to get.

Dinner the first night was at Joe's on Newbury. It was a fun place. We walked around town afterwards. It was so nice being in Boston in the springtime!

The next morning we picked her up at her apartment and went to our favorite bagel place (Pavement) for some fuel. It was going to be a busy day.

We headed to campus because she was giving Welcome Day tours to incoming freshman. I liked seeing the flag of the Ukraine flying with our flag. We had some time to wait before her tour so we hung out in this cool umbrella tent for awhile and by the fire pits around campus.

We hopped on her tour and it was fun taking the tour again, we haven't done it in four years and now we had the best tour guide. I'm glad we got to see the inside of this amazing ISEC building.

Walking around town and seeing all of the new spring flowers. We took her shopping and on some excursions for her final assignment. (She needed photos at places that were easier to drive to.) We even saw a little snow!
