Greetings and beautiful Sunday to you!
Wow what a Saturday those of you in the Boston area had.  That sure was some beautiful weather.  V and I are hosting my favorite mother-in-law Pat for a couple of days and my parents came up to visit so we took them all on the Harbor Walk from the Seaport District and walked to the North End up and down all the piers and then rewarded them by standing in line for 75min to eat at Giacomo’s, which they disliked very much until they ate the food, which they enjoyed thoroughly, except my dad who got the swordfish, but that’s his problem, b/c who gets swordfish at an Italian place where sauce is the focal point.  Anyways, we took the short walk home, skipped the piers and had a nice evening.  And That was my plan for a little sightseeing burn & earn adventure before & after a fun, planned splurge meal.
