Mid-day Saturday, we were exhausted from wandering the floor of Boston Comic Con and our stomachs were grumbling. One look at the line for food in the Seaport World Trade Center sent us across the street to search for food at Rosa Mexicano. When we saw the “gluten free menu” option listed on the sheet … Continue reading
“You’re going to die today!” the man shouted at me, gesturing to my chest with his assault rifle. I heard the air leave my lungs and felt my heart thud into my stomach as I stood frozen in shock. Then, from my spot in line outside the Convention Center, I looked down at my home-made … Continue reading
Happy Friday! For my first of many “Something Delicious” Friday posts, I want to share my favorite restaurant in Boston with all of you: Nebo. The Pallota sisters, Carla and Christine, recently moved the restaurant from the North End to Atlantic Wharf, but offer the same delicious meals (with a few new additions) in a … Continue reading

I wished I had thought of it … Continue reading

Sailing Boston Harbor on Father’s Day on our boat, The Blue Angel Watching the Bruins games in the Stanley Cup Finals (I hope they win the cup before I leave!!) and spotting Bruins … Continue reading
I was shocked and saddened to hear about the bombings at the Boston Marathon earlier today, to say the least. Immediately my thoughts went to my family back home–who loves to go into Boston for days like Patriot Day to enjoy the beautiful weather and some of the festivities of the day. Luckily, my family … Continue reading
Today we took a little trip into Boston to visit Dad’s alma mater, MIT. Dad was mainly driven by a desire to hack the many ingress portals on MIT’s campus, but when I expressed an interest too we decided to take a little tour and explore some of the main campus. It turns out there … Continue reading
Some of my favorite signs I’ve seen while traveling. I know there are more that I’ve neglected to photograph, but I’ll certainly be keeping my eyes out from now on. What’s the strangest sign you’ve ever seen? Continue reading
