Boston or Bust In Photos

I'm finally back from a lovely family vacation, and I think I left my brain in Massachusetts.

The week after a long vacation is always a bit chaotic, but at least I have beautiful photos and memories to relive our amazing trip! Adam's sister and her husband live in Boston, so we trekked northeast with Adam's parents for a fun getaway.

We left on Tuesday night after work, spent one and a half days in Boston seeing the city, before we roadtripped out to the cape coast. There was so much to do and see in both places that we only got a little taste, but we can't wait to head out again.

Today... Boston.
Tomorrow... Cape Cod.

Get excited.

On Tuesday before we left, I ran to my favorite downtown nail boutique, Polished, for a sparkly polish change and a solid 30 minutes just enjoying my massage chair.

Indulged in a few of my favorite things for the flight out.

We had to stop by the famous Flour Bakery + Cafe in Back Bay to see what all the fuss was about.

And we found out.

We got their delicious granola bar to nibble on while we sipped on our coffees. It was so good that we went back to Flour the next day to get a few to take to Cape Cod with us.

We decided to take fuzzy photos (not on purpose) while being "those tourists" on a big City View bus tour. Not part of our original plan, but when you only have 3 hours to see all of Boston, this was a really fun way to see many sites and get a good general history.

Enjoyed the views of the Boston skyline. 

Toodled around North End for a delicious Italian lunch. All of the places there are so adorable!

After dinner along the quaint harbor at 75 on Liberty Wharf (check out these photos of the amazing view!), we met the gang at Top of the Hub for some bubbly, desserts, and great atmosphere. The lights from the top of the city were gorgeous, and the hot cookie with chantilly cream dessert was to die for (and I'm a cookie snob!).

The next morning we hit up the infamous Fenway Park for a VIP tour! Meredith and I thought every Sox hat should have sequins.

Hubs was in baseball heaven, and his face was all lit up like a little kid on Christmas morning.

Don't miss out on the HUGE group giveaway, now until midnight on Sunday! We have a $25 Starbucks gift card, $50 Boutique Sui gift card, and a pampering kit full of lotions and fall nail polishes. Come and get it!

Coming up tomorrow... the gorgeous and relaxing Cape Cod!

Boston - Recommendations Needed!

The countdown is officially on.

In t-minus three weeks, the hubs, in-laws, and I are all taking off for a nice long Boston/Cape Cod vacay, and I can hardly contain myself. In fact, I am so excited thinking about the endless possibilities that I just might pee my turquoise cropped pants!

A big reason is because we will get to see my awesome sister-in-law and brother-in-law, and it's been to stinking long. Meredith and Kyle moved to Beantown this spring there and we can't wait for our largely anticipated reunion.

Have I ever told y'all that I hit the in-law jackpot?
Well, I totally did. Absolutely love 'em.

Anywho, this little blonde has never been to lovely, historical Boston (or the Cape!) and I am dying to see anything and everything! Mere and Kyle are awesome tour guides, but they're going to be at work during the daytime, so we'll need to keep ourselves occupied.

On my radar...

+ Flour Bakery + Cafe
+ Freedom Trail
+ Charles River Esplanade
+ Kane's Donuts
+ Harvard Yard
+ Sam Adams Brewery Tour
+ Kick Ass Cupcakes // Georgetown Cupcakes // Cakeology


And I wish we could catch a baseball game, but we're only going to be there a few days before we jet off to Cape Cod. My list is just too long

So, long story short... I need your help!


Restaurants? Shopping? Sights? 
You name it - I want to see it all!

I'd love to hear your recommendations! And... GO!
