Christmas for the Girls...in March??

It was Girls' Weekend in Boston...

...and we definitely took it by storm!

This year for Christmas I gave my mother a Jet Blue giftcard so she could come and visit me in Boston...and, since we could plan ahead a bit, my sister joined as well! Yippee!! So, it was the Henry Girls in Beantown and boy did we have fun!!
Friday afternoon, my sister Katie and I picked up my mom at the airport and it was off to the Barking Crab for some lunch and a few cocktails. We had a great time sitting at the bar and overlooking the ocean. It was a beautiful afternoon, perfect weather to be down by the water...and very fun lunch!

Don't worry, that little guy wasn't lunch...we just wanted to say hello! After lunch, we headed back home to unpack - Lucy was very excited to see her Gram and her Aunt! My mom even brought me a surprise - my favorite boots!!I think the boots are growing on my mother!And there's Katie with Lucy...they were so happy to see one another!

Friday night we headed over to the Dish were Jo met up with us. Denice was very sweet and started out our weekend right with champagne on the house! Thank you Denice! Dinner was fantastic, as usual, although a bit strange to be there on a Friday instead of Monday night. But, the Monday night crew will be there as per usual tomorrow night...sitting at the bar and solving the world's problems!

So, after dinner at the Dish, we headed across the street to the Franklin for a cocktail before calling it a night. Katie's friends from college joined us there, who knew we would become such a big crew!

Saturday morning we got up and out of Boston we went! Lucy got to come along for the ride as we headed up to Newburyport. What a quaint little town! Lucy, Mom & Kate loved the waterfront (they mentioned planning my 30th bday up there at the restaurant...um, that's not for a LONG time still!!!)

Lucy got into the nautical theme, she was the star of the petstore in town as she modeled all of the dog accessories. What a cute hat Ms. Lucy!!

After a wonderful afternoon of poking around Newburyport and doing some shopping, we headed back into the city for a little wine and cheese before heading out to dinner at Petit Robert. Katie made a wonderful appetizer for the crew - we enjoyed the appetizers so much we almost didn't have room for dinner! No worries though, we had a wonderful meal with some wonderful vino at Petit Robert...maybe a bit too much vino??

Cheers!!

Some Wellfleet oysters? Yum!!Katie at Dinner - doesn't she look great!!

After dinner, and a bit of standing in the snow, we hailed a cab and headed down to the Greatest Bar for a 30th Bday party. Mom's friend Beverly was in town celebrating her son JJ's 30th...a little dancing to make the evening memorable perhaps??

Mom & Bev - friends since college!!


The trip finished with a quick brunch at Stella before heading back to the airport...now its naptime!! See you girls in two weeks for Easter back in Buffalo!!

And for the record...Lucy does dance!! :)
