Daddy's Day Out

This post is a little late, but I've been so swamped with work that it had to wait til now. Saturday was Dave's birthday and we spent some family time together. I'll keep it brief since I have to get to bed as soon as I can. We drove into Boston and had breakfast and a little stroll in the North End. We found this little square covered in cobblestones we had never seen before, and we also passed Paul Revere's house.

Walking up and onto Hanover Street.

Dessert for breakfast. Yes, dessert! Plus, the best caffé mocha I've ever tasted in my life. Caffé dello Sporto.

Next, we trekked over to the aquarium for BB's first visit. I always love watching the penguins. They were getting a shower when we arrived.

Views of the gigantic center fishtank from the tippity top. Was so scared I'd lose hold of BB!

Standing on the ledge, watching the fish, sharks, and turtles go about their business.

Zoom!

After, we went to a diner in Cambridge for lunch and went home to pass out. It's difficult getting around town when you've got a little person in tow! Later that night, we went to the restaurant for Masaki's farewell dinner. I'm going to miss him so much. Will post pictures later. BB made a few new friends, particularly a little boy about her age. His mom and I exchanged contact info, so hopefully we'll be able to squeeze in a playdate or two. They had so much fun chasing each other around!

Yesterday I was so frazzled from running around all day preparing for a little surprise birthday dinner for Dave. New shoes, sushi from Samba, baking strawberry shortcake, lighting some candles, PLUS work. Forgot my wallet at the shoe store and didn't realize until 20 minutes later when I went to buy a platter at Crate & Barrel. Not a good feeling since my house and car keys, credit cards, license, and some git cards were all in it. Luckily, I retrieved it and all was well. Felt good to do something special for Dave, but too bad we were so exhausted by the time we sat down to eat.

Ok, now I've really got to get to bed! More posts and pictures to come soon!
