This weekend we headed north for a fun road trip and wedding. Tim & Wendy were getting married in Boston on Sunday and Jed was in the wedding and our travel partner, Joe, was the officiant.
So we headed out on the road Thursday after work and got as far as we could before we stopped in Bridgewater, NJ. Friday morning we started again driving through NYC. It felt like it was calling us to come play but we enjoyed the sky line and kept going. Before we knew it, we were in Boston! Well, Quincy, but close enough. After we dropped off Joe's suit to get altered for Sunday's wedding, we were on a mission for lunch. After driving around looking for a food truck that wasn't there, we decided on Murray's Deli.
Our next stop was downtown Boston. Before the bachelor party that night we wanted to take a tour of Fenway Park and after a slight hiccup with the T, we found it.
The tour at Fenway was so much fun. We learned so much about the stadium and got to hang out on top of the Green Monster.
After our tour, we had a little time before all the festivities began so Joe, Jed & I spent some time hang out at The Bleacher Bar. This is the place to watch a game! There is a garage door size opening that looks out right onto left field. It was so cool. Unfortunately, the Red Sox were away this weekend so we will have to come and have the game day experience another time. But we really enjoyed the laid back atmosphere during an away weekend.
Joe & Jed went to meet up with Tim and all the guys for an evening at Jillians. I can only assume they spent the evening making fun memories that can never be spoken about again, like all bachelor parties should be. Meanwhile, I meet up with Krystal and we headed off to dinner at Sweet Carolines. This place was a block away from Fenway and really nice. We sat outside, laughed, talked, ate great food and unknowingly watched some guy skip out on his check.
After a fun filled night, and a few hours of sleep, Joe, Jed & I decided to head back into Boston before all the rehearsal festivities began. We had one stop to make before heading back into Boston, the very first Dunkin Donuts.
After 25 munchkins, a few pictures and some really friendly Bostonians, we headed back into Boston to tackle the Freedom Trail. Since we didn't have the time to take a guided tour, we grabbed a $3 self guided tour book from the visitor center and off we went.
It was a perfect day to just walk around the city and we enjoyed seeing and reading all the history of Boston. It was a lot of fun but before long it was time to go set up and rehearse for the big day tomorrow.
The rehearsal was great. We had a fantastic time meeting new people and catching up with old friends. Jed's video was perfect and he did a fantastic job with his impromptu MC position. I absolutely loved listening to friends and family laugh and cry remembering stories of Tim and Wendy and Tim & Wendy together. I was so thankful to be a part of it. Unfortunately, the evening wasn't without a few kinks. A busted wireless mic, an unsuccessful trip to Walmart to get it fixed (a successful trip to Radio Shack got us up and running) and forgetting my camera in the hotel room.
Even without pictures of the event to post (Sorry Lisa), we had a great time and were all really excited for the wedding tomorrow.
