Boston for the weekend

Rosie and I headed up to Boston for the weekend for a family gathering. People flew in from Austrailia and Ireland to meet up. Boston is a nice enough place, but it just doesn’t have the heart that NYC has. It’s like something is missing somehow. The city is beautiful, and there is lots to do, but it lacks something that I have a hard time putting my finger on. Alot of Red Sox fans happen to live there too, which doesn’t help matters. Perhaps it’s because NYC has 14 times the population that Boston has. Who knows.
Ok, enough trash talking. Boston’s ok and we had a wonderful time there. We stayed at the Fairmont Copley Plaza which is Boston’s answer to the Waldorf Astoria here in NYC. We got dressed up for dinner and hit the local pub scene. The bars in Boston close at 1:45am, which in this case I suppose I lucked out. Any later and it would probably have led to trouble.
