Weekending Around Boston

Happy Wednesday friends! I had every intention of getting this post up yesterday, but then I came down with another cold and was out for the count yesterday. Hoping this is the last one of the season – I honestly get one cold a year and I’ve already had two! Anyway, here are some snaps from our busy weekend!


Gary and I had a date night to a new restaurant in Boston, The Westland. We had a really early reservation and it was almost packed to the brim with people by 6:00 PM! It’s next to the Boston Symphony, so it’s a great spot to get a bite to eat before or after a show! Known for their cocktail menu I started with “All the Tricks” which was very similar to a Moscow Mule. We split the crab cakes, meatballs and steak frites – the portions were perfect for two people! The food was delicious and we both agreed that we wanted to go back to try more!


We had a pretty big day out on Saturday – lunch and the aquarium! Big moves over here! First time in a high chair, seeing fish & penguins – pretty epic day for miss Sophia!


We had a pretty low key Sunday and ventured to brunch with our friends! Sophia did awesome and towards the end was loving on my friend Heather. 


Monday we celebrated my mom’s 65th birthday at my sister’s house! We had such a lovely day celebrating the amazing woman that my mom is and getting to dress Sophia up may be one of my favorite things!



Looking forward to an even shorter work week than expected and another full weekend ahead!

    The birthday celebration looks so nice! First time in the highchair is such a big deal – I feel like Tatum is so much more entertained out being in a high chair (for the most part)!

    That Boston blue sky – gorgeous! I had no idea that Boston had such an amazing waterfront. What did the Symphony Orchestra perform by the way? I am not a HUGE buff but do listen to a lot of classical – do you have a favourite? LOVE the family photo of the four of you – so beautiful because you all look so happy, relaxed and natural together xx
