USS Constitution

We are really enjoying being in Boston and finding free dates! 

So I am starting a series on free dates in Boston. 

I call it, the Free Dates in Boston Series.

SUPER clever right?

The first on our list is the USS Constitution. 

It is so cool! And totally free. 

Tours are every 30 minutes or you can do a self guided tour but only of the top deck.

We opted for the 30 minute one and went below. 

This little lady is the oldest floating war ship in the world!

It has been in 33 battles and survived them all. Talk about Lucky.

We had a great little history lesson and saw the gun deck and sleeping quarters.

This is a great family outing too - we brought our Sweet B with us and she loved it!

All is all, the USS Constitution is well worth a visit. 

Completely free and completely awesome!

Visit the ship's website for times and visitor information.

Happy Dating!

Cupcakes

When your husband/son/brother (any male you know) was a kid did he go to bed with his favorite toy? Or maybe piece of sports equipment? Hubby's family has told me that he would go to bed with his basketball. 

It's cute when they're boys. 

Not so cute as married men. 

Hubby works at a tennis club and is working on becoming a professional tennis player. And because of that, he feels the need to constantly practice. 

Even at home. 

Even at night.

Even in bed. 

I kid you not. This guy has come to bed with his tennis racket and played "air tennis". 

He's not allowed to do that anymore.

Anyway, we had a great date tonight!

We went to this adorable little cupcake shop in Newton, MA.

It was seriously darling! I want to decorate Sweet B's room like this place now. 

Striped pink walls. Black and white tile floor, and multicolored light fixtures.

There were lots of cupcakes to choose from and even frozen yogurt. 

Hubby got banana and I ordered a baby chocolate. 

So glad we found this little gem! 

Date night for less than $5 - SCORE!

Happy Dating!

River Walk

We made it!

 I now live in BOSTON!

We still have a lot of unpacking to do and need to figure out where things are, but we are here.

And safe.

And missing friends....

Anyways,

Neither Hubby nor I have ever been here before so we have a lot of exploring to do. 

To kick off our Boston dates, we decided to take a stroll along the Charles River.

There is this great walking trail by our apartment complete with hundreds of geese and ducks. 

It was a perfect day for a walk like this! We did lots of exploring, talking and making silly faces for the camera. 

After some flexing and karate kicks, we fed the geese some bread and headed home. 

Taking a walk is a fantastic date because

1. Its FREE!

2. You get in some exercise - which is always a bonus

3. Plenty of time to chat and enjoy the view

4. It's a great way to explore a new neighborhood

Stay tuned for some more dates from the Boston area!

Happy Dating!
