We had an absolute blast in Boston with Greg. I put a bunch of pictures on facebook here, so I won't repeat all of those again (but do look at them!). I will list the best parts of the trip:
- We had planned to just meet Greg at his dorm room, but he surprised us by meeting us at the airport. It was awesome. I screamed. We got back to his room at 2am after an unnecessarily long train ride (at one point the driver had to stop and take a break... ?!).
- We stayed with Greg - and his 3 roommates - in his dorm. We slept in his twin bed. Together. His roommates were wonderful though (well, Jack and Jonathan were awesome. Zurrah was... present.)
- Friday:
- We ate at Greg's favorite bagel place, Pavement in between a few of his classes.
- He gave us a tour of campus.
- Duck tour
- We window shopped down Newberry Ave.
- Advanced modern dance class. WOW. A) You have to test into all of your performance classes (like tap, piano, ballet, etc.) and Greg (who has never taken modern dance) tested into ADVANCED. He is a rockstar. B) Holy cow, he is surrounded by some seriously talented people. I mean, I know they only took 40 kids from the whole country, but whoa.
- Walked to the Prudential (past this gorgeous building) and attempted to eat dinner... we ended up closing down the food court. Nice.
- Saturday:
- BEAUTIFUL, perfect weather.
- Greg slept in.
- We ate Dunkin Donuts.
- Left on the T to travel to the North End
- Went to the Haymarket (incredible! cheapest produce & meat EVER. Ash, you will die.)
- Faneuil Hall/Quincy Market (so, so fun)
- Freedom Trail
- Lobster lunch at the Purple Shamrock ($10 lobster lunch! they get their lobster daily from a local fisherman- so cool!)
- Cambridge and Harvard. SO stinkin beautiful... wow.
- Rocky Horror Picture Show (which, ironically, was on Glee last night! The BoCo show even had a girl as Freddie too! So crazy!)
- Ice cream at J.P. Licks (that we got for free because the cash register broke!) to "officially" celebrate Greg's 19th birthday.
