<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Every year Trader Joe’s hosts a party for all of the “full-timers.”\u00a0 This year’s East Region party was held on a boat in Boston.\u00a0 We decided to take the train since we are now car-less.\u00a0 So we left our apartment at 5:30 am, walked a few blocks to the subway, traveled two stops to Penn Station, took the train to Boston’s South Station, traveled two stops on Boston’s Silver Line, and then walked across the street to the hotel.\u00a0 Sometimes it really is easier to ditch the car!\u00a0 I have to mention that I intended to sleep on the train to Boston, but I was distracted by all of the places I could visit on that route…New Haven (Yale), Mystic, Providence…there’s so much to explore!<\/p>\n
Our hotel room had a view of the harbor along two walls, so instead of walking along the harbor, we enjoyed our air-conditioned view and took a nap before heading to the party.\u00a0 The boat cruise was beautiful and provided another opportunity to escape the heat (but not the humidity).\u00a0 I also enjoyed meeting some new people who I can hopefully connect with again.<\/p>\n
The next day we drug our hung-over bodies out of bed at 11:00 and took a shuttle to downtown Boston with Nicole and Steve.\u00a0 After a much needed meal, we traveled along the Freedom Trail.\u00a0 For all of you history buffs, Boston is easy.\u00a0 All the historical monuments are connected by a brick trail that meanders through the city.\u00a0 It begins at Boston Common.\u00a0 We started in the middle and ended at the Common.\u00a0 Afterwards, we traveled to Cambridge and wandered around Harvard for a bit.\u00a0 And since this is a blog about NYC, I will just say that traveling through Boston did a couple of things…1) it reminded us of Seattle, maybe because it is missing some 150,000 college students and seemed a little quiet, and 2) made us realize that our perspective is already changing, even though we have been living in New York for a very short time.<\/p>\n
