THE BEST TIME IN BOSTON...HOORAY
Leah(vikeschick42), Tammy(twinsx2plus2) and I met in Boston today...totally unplanned, well for me anyway, but as of 8pm last night it was official.
Now, the drive to Boston was brutal, the downpours were so hard that the highways were flooded and I passed multiple accidents on my way, but surprising to me, took only 2 hours to get there. Finding the parking garage recommended by Tammy was a nightmare, circled downtown Boston 6 times before locating it...it's called 75 State Street Garage, however, unbenownst to me, it is on BROAD Street...no wonder I couldn't find it.
I waited in the parking lobby for both of them as they were arriving about 20 minutes after me and low and behold, I hear the elevator beep and then I hear them screaming my name...it was so funny.
Off we go into Fanueil Hall and make our first stop at the Mexican restaurant and ate a very NS friendly lunch. Got to know eachother a bit and then out into the POURING rain once again. We did a little shopping, both Leah and I bought umbrellas because it was so darn wet outside and we then realized we should have taken pictures prior to us looking like drown rats...oops, too late now (see attached).
We went to the Holocaust Memorial, saw the memorial for all those lost in Afghanistan...the memorial is hanging dog tags of each and every man/woman we lost and we stopped by Paul Revere's statue.
We enjoyed our time together more than I can even express. We clicked as soon as those elevator doors opened, we laughed, we had deep discussions, we discussed so many other topics, NS didn't really come up much which was a nice break, and we formed quite a special bond with eachother.
I truly couldn't have asked for a better experience. So much to share on it, but then you'd be reading for the next couple of days...also...
Tobe was right...WHAT HAPPENS IN BOSTON STAYS IN BOSTON!
So, I guess the rest as they say is history...hehehe
Tammy,
Hope you made it home safely. Can't wait to see you again.
Leah,
I hope your flight was a pleasant one considering the crappy weather. I wish you could come out at least annually for business so we can meet up again.
I miss you both already!
Good night everyone.
Suzanne
