| Fun fact? They filmed Sister Wives here a few weeks ago. |
To Plimoth Plantation! One of the many exciting places we visited while I was visiting Boston a few weeks ago. Meaghan was a fabulous hostess and took Debbie and I exploring the whole weekend. Also, there was a dance party, which is really all it takes to make me happy anyway.

On Friday we went to a hockey game at Harvard, which was pretty much what you would expect. I am pretty sure there were more Cornell fans there than Harvard fans, but who's counting? The players were pretty and the place was packed - and it had been so long since I'd seen a hockey game I was definitely into it.
After that we attended a dance party (Cronk 2.0 was the name of it, I believe) some students in Meaghan's program were throwing in an old gymnasium on campus. I had so much fun, even though I definitely regretted my decision to wear my new boots.

On Saturday we went to Plimoth Plantation and the Mayflower II (a recreation of the original Mayflower). Plimoth was fantastic except for the part where I was harassed by a pilgrim. I asked him "What do y'all do for fun around here?" and he acted like he couldn't understand me and didn't know what "fun" was. RUDE.

| The MOOflower. Hilarious. |

| Inadvertently racist. I promise I was just making a he's-so-hot face. |

| Baby. Goats. |
 |
| That girl was SUPER skeptical about the breadmaking going on here. |
Then we tried on some hats. Obviously.
 |
| A wolf mask. No one told me this was not...right. |
 |
| Adorable character hats. |
The Mayflower II was excellent...it was crazy to think how many people were on that boat while it slowly made its way across the Atlantic. I fear I would've thrown some people overboard had that been me.
 |
| Really excited to be hanging out with the cannon. |
 |
| Debbie was not pleased with my climbing antics. |
 |
| But we got the cutest picture ever out of it! |
Sunday we went on a Harpoon brewery tour which was fantastic! They walked us through the brewery and then we had a tasting afterwards. They had all the different beers on draft. I loved the seasonals but my favorite was the UFO Hefeweizen.
 |
| Sniffing something they use to make beer. I got a lot out of the tour. |
 |
| Tasting everyone they had on draft - yum! |
 |
| Aw yea! |
After that we had a tour of downtown Boston with our cute, historically-garbed tour guide.
And then we went to Mike's Bakery where it was INSANELY busy and bought way too many cannolis that we ate later back at Meaghan's apartment.
 |
| The whole place was packed. |
 |
| Spoiler alert: they were delicious. |
And finally some amazing Italian food - I wish I could remember the name of this seafood linguine dish, because it was incredible.
 |
| Something about pesce. I don't know. |

Definitely loved visiting Boston, but I knew it was off to ND after only three days back at home. Yes, November was a complete whirlwind.
the most noble creature indeed. this post made me so happy! i want to come down for a weekend in spring. i will most likely only have classes tuesday-wednesday so i could make a long weekend out of it. as soon as i get my spring syllabi i'll take a look and we can find a weekend that works. woo!
