On Saturday I had the privilege of going with Hannah and the other seniors in the music program at her school on a day trip to Boston. I was surprised – and immensely pleased – that my daughter wanted me to be a part of this day with her friends.
We started the day with lunch at Fire and Ice. This was my first visit to this restaurant and I enjoyed it a lot. Everything was very fresh and the combinations are endless! The cooks at the grill make it a fun dining experience – Hannah even had to dance before they would give her her food.
After lunch we went to see the musical production of Young Frankenstein. Our seats were in the nose bleed section and that made the actors hard to hear but other than that the show was good. It’s mostly just like the movie (one of my favorite comedies) and many of the jokes are the same. The music is pretty good and the dance numbers were excellent.
Finally, after the show, we headed for Faneuil Hall for some shopping and dinner. Dale was able to join us at the last minute due to a cancellation and he and Hannah and I had a great meal together at Durgin Park. I love going there. It’s reliable and delicious and just so Boston.
It was a fun day and so nice to have the chance to spend it together as a family. I know days like this aren’t going to be plentiful in the coming years so I’m happy to have made the most of this one.
Great day, making for great memories!
So glad you were able to share such a lovely day with your girl.
Sounds like you all had a great time!
Sounds fun! I always loved the chance to go on those kinds of outings with my kids.
Ah, “Putting on the Ritz!” I’d love to see that live. It sounds like a wonderful day!
That was one very special day!
Sounds nice. We haven’t been to Durgin Park for umpteen years.
Sounds like it was a special day for all of you!
It does sound like a great day!
Frau Bleucher!!!! One of my favorite movies…chuckling to myself remembering Robert Ryan’s character with his thumb on fire… Sounds like a very special day for you. 🙂
Sounds like the perfect way to spend a sunny Saturday! So glad you got to spend the day with Hannah making memories that will definitely get you through the coming years 🙂
Love Durgin Park! And love those days as a family! You said it Carole. I told Dan last night we were going to have a day together in June and wouldn’t tell him what we’re going to do. I’m taking him to the Swan Boats before he heads off. He’s never been!
sounds like a great time, I love Fire and Ice
That sounds like such a great day. Aren’t we lucky that our daughters actually like our company?
What a lovely day!
I’ll bet you are the most fun mom out of all the senior class. Sounds like you had a great time.
Fire + Ice looks like a great place! If I ever get to Boston I must remember it.
I’ve never heard of Fire+Ice, but it looks great!
What a great day you had! Isn’t Fire and Ice cool? That’s one of our favorites when we go to Providence.
Sounds like a wonderful day! You are right about taking advantage of the opportunities for family days when you can…they go off to school and the real world all to soon.
What an excellent day. I’ve never been to Durgin Park – must add it to my list!
Sounds like a lovely day :o)
