We really enjoyed our 3 night getaway to Boston! Eating will forever be a major issue though when away from home. Many people have raved about P.F. Chang’s and their special gluten free menu, so we tried that the first night. Newly opened at the Prudential Center, I don’t think they had all the kinks worked out. They said their rice WAS NOT gluten free.(I’m almost certain it is, though) When I pressed, the waitress just said no one could confirm it was safe to eat. Their lettuce wraps were great as was the chocolate dome, but I was pretty sick afterward -maybe the dairy I cheated on in the dessert.
We definitely did the Boston Tourist Thing even though we’ve been to the city 100 times …. Duck Tour of the city and the Charles River
The Blue Man Group …very postmodern entertainment … difficult for the traditionalist in me… but interesting.
The Copley Square Hotel directly across from the towering Westin, and Marriott. Have you read The Little Red Lighthouse and the Great Grey Bridge? The Copley reminded me of the little red lighthouse – over 100 years old and overpowered by the newer hotels.
The Boston Public Library…really a museum as well … we saw the WWII poster exhibit as well as the mini books exhibit.
And Park Street Church…the first thing you encounter on the Freedom Trail… and so amazing to sing hymns and hear the Truth of God’s Word being proclaimed in the heart of Boston! In fact, the sermon was entitled
“What is Truth?”
“What is Truth?”
When we weren’t playing tourist, we sipped coffee, journaled, read books………….even more wonderful than the first honeymoon!
Gosh we missed the library this last time. Thanks for the reminder.
Love ya
Yea! So glad you had a great time. I’ve been to PF Changs since going GF and always get the lettuce wraps for my entree. What was up with the rice? How would it have not been GF? hmmm… And I also have sampled the chocolate dome as well and loved it and paid for it too. 😉 Y’all look so cute together! You crack me up…”the traditionalist in me”…
Love ya,

Our first choice for our night at the theater was “Misalliance” – George Bernard Shaw. I think I may have enjoyed that one a bit more! But Blue Man Group is definitely the Boston thing to do!
Love,
