i'm a bad blogger

and i'm exhausted out of my mind.

monday, we woke up at 4:30 to go to the today show. we shook hands with matt and al and then got matt to sign larkin's happy birthday poster. we were on tv for about ten seconds! i can't wait to go look at the tivo and video it. dad said i was waving so hard i looked like i was going to decapitate someone.

after that, we went back to the hotel and packed up and drove to boston. we went straight into town and went shopping (the only inside activity we had planned because of the torrential rain and hurricane force winds) for a few hours. we went to dinner at a pub near boston commons. then we went to sleep. because at this point, we had been awake for 15 hours already. and it was only nine pm.

yesterday, we walked the freedom trail, which covers most of the important historical sites in boston. (we also went into the cooooolest old bookstore. heaven. but they didn't have any old editions of madeleine.) after freedom trail, we went to mike's pastry in little italy. i've never had cannoli before this, but i could tell it was good. i'd probably have liked it more if i liked sweet stuff more.

we went to cheers on beacon hill for lunch, and then headed out to the sam adams brewery for a tour. it was super interesting, and came with free beer! i liked the third kind the best...it's something that's only available in boston. after that, we went back to the harbor to relax for a few minutes.

then we went back to little italy for dinner. we ate at a place called giacomo's. mmmm. eggplant, red pepper, and black olive ravioli with plum tomato, onion, and prosciutto sauce. with goat cheese on top. yum. after dinner, we came home and i CRASHED. eight pm, i was out.

happy st. patrick's day!
