Saturday!

It's quarter after 11pm and I'm snacking on the chocolate chip cookies and milk we purchased at Quincy Market this evening. It was our last stop before coming home.  We left this afternoon to go for a walk and with no other plans to be anywhere allowed the day to take us where we pleased.  We started in Newton near one of his clients walking around the center and the neighborhood nearby.  Stopping at J.P. Licks, I got a kiddie peanut butter cookie dough ice cream and it was absolutely delicious.  While eating our ice cream it got ridiculously windy so we got back into the car and decided to drive toward Boston.

After driving no more than ten minutes we came upon the Chestnut Hill Reservoir.  It was beautiful and I still needed to walk many more steps before meeting my daily goal so we walked around it.  A part of me really liked the area.  The best is that it wasn't all that far from Dave's clients which is the main reason why we've prolonged moving toward Boston.  That and money, of course.  This area had it all: tennis courts, an ice rink, a community pool, a walking area around the reservoir, and the Cleveland Circle T-stop.   A possibility perhaps?

This second walk makes me begin to feel hungry and as we continue driving into Boston I mention getting some dinner in the North End.  At the time it seemed like a good idea.  Unable to find parking we parked at the Boston Waterfront.  Holy cow that place is lovely.   However, walking up and down the streets of the North End at 6pm on a Saturday evening was not a good idea if we wanted to eat at a reasonable hour.  Somehow we ended up at Quincy Market and at the restaurant that serves the best Lobster Cobb Salad.  Despite feeling very under dressed in workout clothing we thoroughly enjoyed our meal topping it off with cookies.

What a wonderful day/night.  I really wish we had more days like that.  It makes you realize just how valuable it was having Sundays off too.
