Day (18): Enter the Mumzy

Today was marked by the arrival of none other than Darlene herself. Boston, brace yourselves. The pleasant morning began by venturing to the airport to retrieve Mom and Joe and then going to the hotel, aka the glamorous Ramada Boston, to check in. By this point, it was already about 2pm so lunch before going downtown was decided upon. But out at the JFK stop, options are slim. So we resorted to the Deadwood Grill as advertised by the hotel. Now, this doesn't sound so bad on paper. But, when we walked up to the "restaurant," I realized it was connected/inside the bowling alley. A bowling alley. Full speed ahead! Time for adventures. All in all, lunch wasn't that bad (the place had Boar's Head deli meat, for heaven's sake), but I won't be seeking out other bowling alleys for dining experiences in the future. Following that scrumpudiliumptuous meal, it was time to walk it off. To Park Street then Beacon Hill to the Esplanade and finally through the gardens and the Common we went. Probably the single most beautiful walk in the city. Needless to say, it took a while, and some people were pretty tired by the end of it, but it was well worth it. I had some loose ends to tie up at Emerson so I left the 'rents to rest on the Common and returned later with the friends RB, Guy, and Mamalie who got the pleasure of meeting Darlene alive and in person. After that nice chat, it was dinner at Legal Sea Foods and walking to the North End to grab the pastries and back to the WHarf a la romantic evening with Rebecca the previous week. Lols. I just about ran these kids into the ground. And they still have 2 more days. Bwahahahaha.
