Touristing is Hard Work

My parents came to town Thursday night and we've had a busy weekend. Friday we went on a Duck Tour and then walked around downtown Boston for a couple hours covering several miles from Park Street past the convention center and Berklee and up Mass Ave to Central where we got back on the T to go home. Saturday we went to the Institute of Contemporary Art, walked from there through chinatown to My Thai Vegan Cafe for a yummy lunch then along Boston Common back to Park Street and T home. Sunday we drove out to Walden Pond and walked around its circumference, got lunch at the tasty Nashoba Brook Bakery in West Concord, then went to the deCordova Sculpture Park and Museum in Lexington. This involved several more hours of slowly strolling around a museum and grounds. My knees hurt and despite eating out more I feel like I may have lost a couple pounds this weekend.

Art!

Oh yeah, and as often happens for family gatherings, there was good food. Yak & Yeti, my waffles, Other Side Cafe, My Thai Vegan Cafe, my home made pizza, Nashoba Brook Bakery, and my girlfriend's curry. All delicious. Good weekend.
