My pics are out of order but I had to document this picture, the last day. We went to Bloomingdales for frozen yogurt. Kind of over-hyped but still yum. And totally over priced.
The first day was our "down town" day. We missed the T, so Michelle dropped us off on Newbury St. where we (window) shopped at all of the high end, super cute shops.
Cute sisters!
Could I look anymore BLAR? Oh well. I bought a scarf that day at H&M to fit in with all the fall-ishly dressed Bostonians. I really needed some tall boots.
Is that red tree not amazing?
Our walk through the Public Gardens. So gorgeous!
More Newbury St.
It started to rain so Tay and I used our scarves as umbrellas.
Our walk back through the public garden
We had fun daring Sheree to do random things on the trip. Our first dare was to climb this tree in the Garden. She did it. Duh.
I went in my first Jonathan Adler store. Very under-whelming. A few cool pillows and some great chairs but WHO would pay $1800 bucks for ONE dining room chair? Not me.
LuLu is probably the best and cutest baby ever. She sits and sleeps in her stroller all day until it is time to eat, then goes back in her stroller. She was in the Bjorn just because we wanted to see more of her cute face. Notice Taylor will NEVER show her face in a pic? She's wierd. But we love her anyway!
After a day of walking in my new flats, I had to buy some slippers because my nubbins (tay's favorite word) were rubbed raw on my pinky toes. I have Mike Toolson pinky toes, if you know what I'm sayin...And while I slipped on the peds to try on my slippers, the girls slipped the peds over their faces. And then we laughed until we cried in the middle of the store.
We eventually got rained out and did not get to see much so we took the T home. And this is what we found when we got there. Who would want to stay in a hotel?
Crystal had prepared this scrumptious meal. Michelle's sausage pasta, salad, fruit and bread. You know me and my foodie pics.
And then an apple pie. What?
Oh, and for lunch we ate at my favorite Boston restaurant, FIGS. The BEST pizza ever. The four of us ate every single morsel of these two pizzas.
Sheree was the only one willing to pose in the pics for me. Thanks Ree. And how cute is Tay in the background?
We boxed up the leftovers and ate them at a Wendy's a couple hours later. This is Sheree's full face. I told her to do it.

Danny had a few extra seats to the Celtic's charity gala and wondered if we were interested....UH, YESSSSS!! We are the ultimate super fans. Well, Sheree and I are. Lin and Tay play it cool.
I have a secret bucket list and going down a red carpet is on it. I love all things fancy and flashy. I watch every awards show, well the red carpet part anyway, and love the glamour of it all. And while ours was not glamourous whatsoever, we were late and there were no cameras, it was STILL a red carpet and we got a picture on it!
The tables were a little crowded, where were we supposed to put our cameras?
Dinner: braised beef short ribs, butternut risotto and haricot vers. Eh. I've made this before and I'm proud to say, mine was better. But I was cooking for six and they cooked for 200. Still.
We were giddy all night long. The ENTIRE team was there and we had a front row table!
These pics are from my phone, Sheree and my camera so they are all mixed up. I don't know what this picture is of but I'm sure there are a few famous guys in there!
All dressed up and ready to go. After looking at these pictures, I've come to the conclusion that I am old enough to not have to put my arm around everyone and will make it a point to stand all fancy like, like the other girls. Hip out, hand nicely planed at side or on the arm of the next person, shoulders down. I was just sooo excited!
RED CARPET!!
PAUL PIERCE!!!! The ultimate super fan pose. So embarassed. I might as well be giggling saying, "like, oh my gosh, I'm totally taking a picture with Paul!"
Danny wanted to introduce Kevin to the "rest of his wives"(he thinks all Mormons are polygamists thanks to that stupid show Big Love.) so he stood up and took a picture with us!!
Highlight of my night: SHAQ!! We shook hands and said hello. It was loud and he didn't stand up but I have met one of the people on my "people I want to be friends with" list!
Another getting ready picture
Saturday was our "Fall foliage walk" as requested by Sheree and was probably my second favorite part! The weather was brisk, as they call it out East. We looked at all the gorgeous houses, even broke into this beauty on sale for a cool 2.8 M, climbed some trees, played in the foliage and danced our way home.
Allen Street.
This picture would probably look better without the wire at the top. The perfect old Boston home at Fall time.
The fall foliage
We even played in it!
Gorgeous garage doors
We found an excellent climbing tree and couldn't help ourselves.
BFF cousins
The girls
Another dare. We couldn't help ourselves
Allen St. Again
She thought this was so cool until she saw all the trash mixed in with the foliage!
The most beautiful street on earth
I turned on my pandora radio and we "boom boom pow-ed" all the way home.
Dre and Fin were so cute! They LOVE baby lulu. Taylor just bumped her out of her tummy! (dre)
And this is the salad we ate on Saturday. Greens, goat cheese, green beans, walnuts and a balsamic vinegarette. So good. I just made it for John and he did not agree. But he is a boy and boys don't appreciate good chick food!

We shopped a lot and ate a lot of delicious food, and laughed a ton, and sang in the car, and stayed up late, and slept in a little. It was heaven. And I can't wait to do it again. A huge thanks to Danny and Michelle for their incredible hospitality. And Thanks to Coop for letting me sleep in your bed without any dirty looks or complaints:)
The end.
