Now that it's been official for a while, I can actually post this with the real reason we were in Boston this weekend in June.
Aaron had been called a few times by a recruiter about a position in NH - and he kept saying "no thanks". Well, since we'd had quite the year so far, the next time he called with an offer, Aaron bit. We headed up to Boston on a Thursday evening and Aaron had his interview there on Friday morning. He left the interview being told he was going to receive the offer, and with a compliment of being "very polished". So, it went well and all we had to do was wait. We enjoyed that Thursday evening with a stroll through Boston Common and by going to a nice dinner (on his possibly-future bosses request) at Houston's. Aaron loved the crabcakes and I enjoyed a big, juicy filet mignon - we had also read rave reviews on their spinch-artichoke dip and didn't know how it could be so different than others ... until we tried it! We can't wait to eat there again.
On Saturday, we hit the New England Aquarium - I think we spent a few hours in here checking out the penguins, sharks, jellyfish, turtles, stingrays, etc. It was awesome. After that, we walked to a handful of the sites on the Freedom Trail to learn some history, like the Old South Meeting House, the Old State House, King's Chapel Burying Ground, and the Boston Massacre site. Lots of walking! We checked out of our hotel, had lunch in the Quincy Market Cheers, relaxed a bit in Boston Common, then decided to stay another night and checked back into the hotel for another night!
Sunday was a bit rainy, but we got out and walked the Freedom Trail up toward the North End - we hit the Paul Revere House, the Old North Church and Copp's Hill Burying Ground. We walked down to see the Cheers on Beacon Hill, which inspired the TV show. Then it was time to head home. Our legs wouldn't walk anymore if we had wanted them to.
It was a great weekend and we can't wait to stay again and see more of the sites we missed.
