Day one… involved lots of driving! We made the seven hour trek from Albuquerque to Phoenix, stopping for a picnic of leftover Great Harvest bread, grapes, cheese, and a Thai shrimp salad we picked up from Whole Foods. And a beer – a yummy brown ale aged in hazelnut barrels? This picnic tasted sooo good after six hours of airport travel and two hours of driving! When we finally arrived at our resort, I was very impressed. It’s the…

Yesterday was about celebration and relaxation. We slept in till 9 and then I made the birthday boy pancakes. It’s only been about three weeks since we’ve had pancakes and the first bite made me realize that I’ve missed our Thursday pancake ritual so.much. We did some more unpacking and furniture assembly and fit in a quick couples workout in my apartment’s gym:) Then we headed to the lake! We’re already obsessed with the sandwiches and salads at The…

I simply couldn’t leave Boston without visiting the new Max Brenner for the chocolate pizza. If you’re not familiar with the bald man below, he’s created an entire chocolate restaurant. So, last night we met Lauren and Evan for one last double date:( We couldn’t resist trying one of the adult beverages, so Matt and I split a drink with peanut and caramel liqueur and chocolate. It tasted like a milkshake, which was a good thing, but I was hoping…
WOW. I had one of the most memorable dining experiences last night. I’m so lucky to have had the opportunity to try some incredible Boston restaurants over the past three years and last night was in the top five best meals I’ve ever had (in Boston). [Disclaimer – one of the themes of my blog is balance, and just so ya know, this next month is NOT going to be balanced since we’re hitting all our favorite restaurants before moving,…
Yesterday afternoon I said goodbye to the high school and hello to the bar:) Let’s just say the beers were going down fast. I had a Sam Brick Red, Abita Purple Haze, and a Long Trail Ale over the course of the afternoon. I hung out with my co-interns as well as some new people and there were lots of good laughs. It was a really an amazing afternoon. Then, Matt arrived and bought me a mojito! A group…
I’m back in Boston enjoying my staycation. It was sooooo nice coming home and not having to worry about frantically unpacking, getting to the grocery store, and preparing for the work week. I wish I could have a post-vacation buffer every time I travel. Our last night in Atlantic City was another perfect night, filled with conversation, cocktails, and cuban cuisine. I’m one of those people who loves themed resorts, so the Tropicana was probably my favorite of all the…
