beerfest

This weekend has been especially cold in Boston, so Terry and I met up with our friends Joe and Emily and hit the Beer Summit downtown to warm up a bit. What a good time! They give you mini beer mugs and you walk around to a number of different breweries and sample their different beers. Of course, only the afternoon session was available, and it is a bit weird to be drinking so much beer at 12:30. Needless to say, we all went home afterwards ready for a nap. Then we woke up this morning to more snow. It is winter, after all. 

Brrrrr

It snowed again this weekend in Boston. Not too much, just five or six inches, but I'm tired of winter already! We also haven't had hot water in our building (shown above) since Friday night, so we're feeling very chilly. Every now and then the faucet runs luke warm, but it never lasts long. As such, we haven't done too much this weekend, but we did get out to look at some wedding ring possibilities and to get some groceries. Otherwise, we've been snuggled under blankets eating junk food. We've gotta bulk up to ward off the chill. We did learn how long it would take to fill the bathtub with warm water by heating water on the stove... I just can't imagine how people bathed before hot water heaters. Anyway, happy winter everyone!

Snowboarding

Terry, Joe and I hit a nearby ski slope to do a little snowboarding on Saturday, and it felt good to get on a board again. The sun was out, but it was still pretty cold and windy. We thought it would be a good way to start the new year out. It will be hard to put in a full week's work starting tomorrow though! Especially because I'm a tad bit sore. I hope you all had a good time ringing in the new year!
