A Day Downtown

Today we decided to have lunch at the Quincy Market.
It's pretty pricey, but so many options!!! Afterwards, we went over to the Aquarium.

Right now they have 80 penguins as their big attraction.

They had a couple sharks and we enjoyed watching them swim by with their evil look.

They had lots of cool fish, some really big ones too, but the pictures didn't really come out. We had fun though. After the aquarium we headed into the North End for an early birthday dinner.
Ate dinner at Al Dente and tried their famous Spinach Crepe appetizer, which was so amazing!!!!
After dinner we walked around the "Feast of St. Anthony Celebration" that is celebrated in the North End every year, the last weekend of August. Lots of food stands and things to buy.

Settled In

Well, it took our belongings about 2.5 weeks to get here!!! Insane! It felt like Christmas morning when the truck arrived! After about 5 days of unpacking, we are pretty much settled in now.

Last Week Dinners

Brian and I have been enjoying making dinner together every night and getting a little creative sometimes. These are some of the meals we ate last week:

"Hoppin' John" (rice, spinach, onion, pinto beans)

Quesadillas - very yummy!

Garden Orzo Salad - we loved this one, so we made it 2 times last week!
(Orzo, tomatoes, cucumber, cannellini beans, olives)

Spaghetti and broccoli - quick & simple :)

Salmon with Quinoa along with...

...a "mess" of Kale greens!

My husband's become quite the chef!!! :D

1st Boston Visitors

Some of our favorite people from back home came to visit us here in Boston. We toured around downtown - went to Paul Revere's house, walked some of the Freedom Trail,
went on the USS Constitution,
and ate dinner in the North End.
Great day!

We met up with them again to tour around Harvard,
and ate lunch together.
It was a lot of fun spending time with the wonderful Wintheiser Family!

Moving Day

Today is the day we left California and headed to our new location...in Massachusetts! We are both excited and nervous. We were unable to find a air mattress, so our first night was spent sleeping on the hard wood floor.
It will be fun to look back on. haha

Honeymoon Pictures

Our honeymoon was 2.5 weeks long and it was amazing. We started in Barcelona, Spain, then took the train to Lourdes France. From there we stopped 1 night in Nice, France and then headed into Italy (with some difficulty due to a train & bus strike in Italy). We stayed 1 night in Milan and then made it to Venice. After Venice, we headed to Florence and then to our final destination, Rome. Check out some of our pictures!

Bachelorette Weekend

Over the weekend I went to Palm Springs with my bridesmaids for my Bachelorette Weekend. While we were away, Brian and some of the guys went to Santa Barbara for his Bachelor weekend. We both had loads of fun and still can't stop sharing stories. :)
