hey beantown!

greetings from boston!

it's about 10am here on the east coast... aj & philip are still sleeping (yes! philip sleeping past 10am!) while dad & v are at the gym.  if i had packed properly i would have brought some yoga attire, but i definitely did not.  and i don't think sweaters, overly long scarves and skinny jeans are good any flow.

so far, "they are all named sean, they are mean, and i hate it here."  kidding.  as usual, boston is awesome.  and as usual, it has philip saying, "let's move here."  we got in a little late on thursday, arriving just in time for a dinner at back bay social club.  the food was good, but really the best thing were the cocktails.  i enjoyed one (or two, or three...) of some gin drink with grapefruit and cucumbers.  grapefruit is my latest obsession, but more on that later.  yesterday we did some much needed sleeping-in, had a late lunch at legal at one of my favorite places in boston, and then i had to get my phone replaced again.  bummer.  no phone numbers until monday, but that could lead to an even more relaxing weekend!  last night we had a heavenly dinner at strega's newest location on the water.  i don't know what the best part of the evening was... the burrata appetizer, the endless wine, or the fact that we were in the company of some quite important people.  the rangers are in town to play the bruins (game @ 1pm ET - tune in!) and the rangers just happened to be carbing up just a few tables away from us.  dad, comfortable amongst celebs as usual, walked right up to tortorella, shook his hand and told him to get a win.  i, on the other hand, was just able to drool and giggle uncontrollably.  but what else can one do in the presence of greatness?

today i'm not sure what we are up to, but it may or may not include the hockey game and/or a trip to manchester's greatest restaurant.  whatever it is i'm sure it will be wonderful and may include a spot on my list...

speaking of the list -- here's my new idea.  i'm going to start a little something called 10 BEST (i dieci migliori) where i will post my 10 favorites of something in lists.  i'm coming up with my 10 favorite things form my boston trip this weekend and will post them after i get some pictures -- oh yes, there will be pictures.

time for me to go enjoy my day here in beantown... beantown, you got it aaaaaaaaalllll!
