Kendall Square for the Night

Due to all those snow days, my vacation didn't get to start until a Monday.  I stayed at school really late on Friday and on the drive home I started craving a night in Kendall Square.  Lucky for me, JO was thinking the same thing.

After dinner at Tommy Doyle's, we hung out at the West Bridge patio until it got a bit too chilly.  We decided go to State Park, which is a newer bar that we discovered a few months ago.  We spent the night playing shuffleboard with a group of German students we met.  Apparently I'm pretty good at shuffleboard.

In between rounds, I may or may not have dumped most of my quarters into the pinball machines.  I can't say it enough- they really nailed the decor in this place.  You definitely feel transported to some bar in the middle of Montana and you feel like it's been around for a long time.  In fact, JO was recently there last week with some friends and one of them was stunned when he said the place was just a few months old.  

It was the perfect way to kick off summer vacation, even though I still had one more day of work to deal with.
