More weekend, please :)
The 30-hour famine is over. It's always an interesting time when several youth and a few chaperones spend more than a day roaming about in the church building. The kids always get a little crazy near the end, but all things considered, they were great. Pictures will be up on the church web site by the end of the week.
Boston Trip, Day Two - Friday, February 20
This was by far the most eventful day of the trip. We took Boston's light rail system, also known as the "T", downtown. We walked to Cheers (the restaurant/bar that inspired the TV show), browsing the gift shop and taking a few pictures outside.
We went to several different places to shop, including an old building called Fanueil Hall, which had lots of fun souvenirs. I might have bought a Boston zipper-pull with my name on it, but I didn't consider it worth it to spend $5 to replace the homemade zipper-pull currently on my coat. It's a paper clip with scotch tape around it. Anyway, I did buy a new watch band at a department store called Filene's, and we also went to a huge Macy's store, where I purchased a new pair of brown shoes.
We had a bit of time to kill before dinner, so we decided to catch a movie. To our suprise, the theater was closed for fire alarm maintenance. Oops. After a little bit more shopping, we headed over to Pizzeria Regina. The pizza was a little bit greasy, but it was pretty good. It was also a treat to hear waitresses with authentic Boston accents.
After dinner, we managed to take the "T" to another movie theater. We saw Miracle. I've been meaning to see that one for quite a while because my brother's company (Hornet Animation) did some of the graphics. A fun time was had by all.
