boston + nyc

since nate was headed through nyc for work, we decided to make it a babymoon/future business school extravaganza...starting in boston. looking back (and down at my swollen limbs), i would have rather laid on a beach somewhere for a last-trip-before-baby-girl, but let's not get picky. i loved spending time with just the husband.

MIT's student cafe rocked. roasted kabob with cous cous or sushi? yes, we could go here.
and there was some cool architecture.


unfortunately, we caught boston at the end of a bad winter. who hasn't had a bad winter this year!? no green trees, but the grass was starting to turn...




32 weeks and feeling it


harvard felt like a cute, quaint little village. i wandered around the buildings while nate attended a class.


we stayed with friends (thank you r&c!), then drove to nyc in the morning.


...and made it just in time to buy yankees tickets from some smashed guys who wanted a hug plus $5 for the seats. sure, man.


but first we had to put on all the clothes we brought because it was so cold.


grimaldi's. yum.

ah, pregnancy hormones. i could not stop crying during "circle of life."
it was just that beautiful!

other highlights:
people are so nice when you're pregnant
smoky gouda mac n' cheese and homemade hummus @ westville
playing "name that stroller" as we people watched (in our quest for a stroller, i've trained nate on available options)
not getting poured on!
hanging out with the white family - they are the coolest
visiting a city we'd never been to...overwhelming, but so fun!
