This week was a great week! It started with history being made at the joint Congressional address. This was inspiring to see and I may have teared up a bit.
The best part about the week was the weekend. I managed to do some extra work during the school week so that I could do a lot of fun things this weekend. Saturday morning, we got up and headed into Boston to see the tulips, flowers, and beautiful blooming trees. It's been a long time since we felt safe enough to go to Boston and it was just so fun to walk around and see the city. It was a beautiful sunny, crisp spring morning and the flowers in the Public Gardens were just stunning.
After the Public Gardens, we headed over to Marlborough Street to do some tree spotting. One of my favorite signs of spring is the blooming trees that line Comm Ave and Marlborough Street. I remember last year that we made a special trip into the city for a run so we wouldn't miss out on the trees. If a lockdown didn't stop me, I wasn't going to let school work stand in my way this year.
After the tree spotting, JO suggested we head over to Piatini for lunch. Newbury Street has done an outstanding job with expanding patio seating at many of the restaurants which is just wonderful to see. We enjoyed a delicious lunch on the patio. It was just so nice to be out in Boston and feel safe again. (Note- JO still has one more shot to go so our feeling of safety has more to do with peoples' behavior than with vaccines.)
Later that day we enjoyed an evening at the fire pits at Bow Market before heading to Gracie's for our first fluff gone of the season!
Of course this week wasn't without some problems...like the great dandelion scandal! (Seriously, I can't believe this is even a thing.)
Also, dreaming of being able to eat indoors again. This place will definitely be on my list!
I'm so glad I gave myself the chance to enjoy this beautiful weekend to it's fullest!
