So, we got to Boston in a short flight from BWI to discover a cold rainy day. However, upon seeing our hotel the troubles seemed to fade away...it is a really nice luxury place, decorated with lots of leopard print, and located in the heart of Cambridge, Massachussets, which is just across the river from the city of Boston. Meg and I marveled at the grandieur of our room for a bit, and then her parents arrived, so we talked to them and figured out our plans for the night since the much anticipated Red Sox game was cancelled due to pouring rain.
The evening started with a complementary wine tasting at the lobby of our hotel and proceeded with the largest and most posh dinner Ive ever had. Since Meg's Dad's company owns the hotel, he is known around these places and has the VIP status, so the chef wanted to be extra nice, which resulted in extra dishes magically appearing on our table. This was a true 5-course meal, with salads, intermediate dish of raw tuna and calimari, main course, dessert (we ordered 2, but were served 4), and tea. I don't think I have ever been so full in my entire life.
Meg and I decided to party it up in the big city and went to a 10pm IMAX show of a movie about the Galapagos islands (which is definitely a destination on my "places to visit" list) showing at the Boston Museum of Science across the street.
