Boston: The finale
12/24 Saturday, We woke up earlier than we had since we’d gotten there and got ready and finished packing to head out. Alix and I cleaned the kitchen without any help from Jake even though he made all of the mess, and Dad sided with him of course. We finally made it out and to David and Carries for breakfast and present opening. I got new earrings, a necklace and a Patagonia vest from Peggy. All very nice. We just hung out all day cause we didn’t have to be to the airport until about 4. Said all of our goodbyes and loaded into the rental van and off to the airport. Got through everything fine except the airline chose me to be screened, not sure why but Jake just stood there and stared. Kassie got a sandwich and shared with me before we boarded the plane. On the plane we watched all of the same shows and there was one good one about trails in WA so we’re going to go do some of them. Landed, it took forever for our luggage, Alishia’s plane was delayed so we all went home and Kassie said she would go back and pick her up. B came over and I finished wrapping presents and packing for B-ham.
12/23 Friday, We woke up a little late but all started getting ready because Zeph was coming over and going to pick us up. I gave him directions on the phone and saw him pull in, looking very dapper in his fancy boots, tie and sweater. He was going to take us into Boston along with Alix and Jake who were going to take the T to Harvard. The three of us set out on a walk but Kassie and I were hungry so we stopped at Au Bon Pain and got some food then set out again on our walk. Saw a pretty church and took some pictures, along with a video, then we set out for some boutique that Kassie wanted to see, though we got lost and onto the wrong street halfway there, so we backtracked and got on the right one, finally found it with only a little time before we were going to have to head back to put money in the meter, but it was closed. So we went to a couple of other little stores, but then we only had 20 minutes to get back so we booked it and decided to drive up to some area, that I can’t remember the name of right now. So we walked around and looked at all of the cute little brownstones and met this guy named George who told us to go to the library and had gotten off of his phone call just to talk to us (or hit on us as Zeph pointed out) and tell us where to get the best canolis. We got on our way and hit some little shops and bought some stuff for Maddie’s birthday and went to a little Italian bakery where I got a warm chocolate chip cookie. We decided to get back on our way to the car since we really didn’t know where we were going, but we found it with a few minutes to spare. Then we headed to the North End to get those canolis at Mike’s, but got lost trying to get there cause Zeph doesn’t know Boston as well as he should, but we did find it, waited in line FOREVER, but got them and were on our way. Got lost multiple times trying to get to the highway but finally found it and were on our way home to make the 6 o’clock dinner date. Zeph hung out for a little while then left to go have dinner with his family. Peggy and Collette and Claude and Becky all showed up and we all ate and had dessert. We stayed kind of late but then went back to the house where Claude and Becky came over and we talked about myspace and parental screening. I packed and went to bed.
12/22 Thursday, I was in a bad / weird mood so I decided to stay at home for the day and just relax. I got up late, stayed in bed and read / slept for most of the day. We were on our own for dinner that night so Mom made macaroni and then we went to a movie with Uncle Jerry. We picked him up in Cambridge and he took us to the “worst part” which is where the movie theater is, but it wasn’t bad at all, compared to other “worst parts” but it was still funny that he went out of his way to explain it. Kassie, Alix and I saw Family Stone and it was ok, not great, kind of unrealistic but entertaining anyway. After the movie we went to this chocolate shop and got hot chocolate and I bought some chocolates for Peggy and Jim. Then Jerry gave us a tour of all of the really big Cambridge houses and they are so beautiful and we all picked which ones we wanted. It was nuts how big they were. We dropped him off at like 11 or 11:30 or something and went home where we all stayed up late again and Kassie talked to Zeph for most of the night (or maybe it was the night before) and made plans to meet up and go on a tour the next day. I looked at his profile and noticed that he was very cute, but his profile needs a bit of editing. I talked to him for a few minutes and he said something about carrying me and I said he better be big, then he asked me if I was 200 lbs or something, I of course said no. Anyway, he seemed very nice and I wasn’t as worried about meeting one of Kassie’s unique friends.
