The first weekend in February we went with Kim on an impromptu road trip to Boston to see Lindsay. Friday morning Kim called and said she was renting a car to drive out to Boston (and to dodge the blizzard that was *supposed* to hit the city over the weekend) & wanted to see if Nick and I wanted to tag along. We thought it was the perfect opportunity for a Jensen sibling weekend & to get out to Boston without having to ride the lovely Fung Wah. And we were excited to see Lindsay since we didn't get to see her over the Christmas holiday.
We got out of the city early in the afternoon to avoid the rush hour mess and were to Boston for dinner. We ordered Chinese take out from a nearby joint and Lindsay and I walked to the store to pick up some wine. We had good intentions to go out that night, but out lack of motivation got the best of us (and we laid on the couch and watched the Hangover (and by WE I mean Nick & I, Lindsay and Kim were zonked out before 9p)).
We had planned on coming back to the city on Saturday morning, but after a late breakfast and going to see Lindsay at work, we reconsidered. After discussing some ideas of what to do with our afternoon, Lindsay suggested that we go to Plymouth Rock. It took some coaxing on Nicks behalf (he is really into American History), but he convinced Kim to drive us out there. By the time we got out to the rock, it was snowing and was so cold that we couldn't stand to be out of the car. We ended up walking around for 10 minutes and then getting back into the heated car and driving around to find a place to get chowder!
After lunch we headed back to Boston and did some shopping in the Back Bay neighborhood, an upscale residential area that has a row of retail shops. We went to the mall and Nick got a book on The Mayflower (so thankful he has some reading material - for days he was complaining that he had nothing to read after he left his book in AZ over Christmas break).
We grabbed dinner at a brewery and headed back to Lindsays to have some wine & watch tv. Once again we planned on going out, but the cold kept us bundled up in blankets on the couch all evening! Not that any of us were complaining. We left to come back to the city early on Sunday morning and we (I) were pleasantly surprised that it looked like that we didn't miss the big snow storm! It hit on Wednesday!!
