How Did We Do?

At the beginning of the summer I shared a list of "to dos" for our "summer bucket list" (here). I thought it was only fitting, now that fall has officially begun to share just how we did on checking the items off our list! I also thought it would be fun to share some of the highlights via pictures!

Go to a drive-in movie { check √ }

Have a Fourth of July cook-out { check √ }

Watch fireworks { check √ }

Go to the beach { check √ double √√}

Make s’mores over a fire pit { check √ }

Have a picnic ...sadly this did not happen, but there is nothing to say this could not carry over into the fall! We will just have an ever more beautiful backdrop AND an excuse to bring something along that is pumpkin flavored. ;)

Go for a hike{ check √ }

See the Old North Bridge { check √ }

Go to Walden Pond { check √ double √√}

And there you have it. Our summer bucket list.

More Fall adventures to come!

Red Sox Game

In honor of Labor Day, Daniel and I decided to enjoy one of America's favorite pastimes... baseball. What better place than our new love, Fenway Park, home of the Boston Red Sox.

The Green Monster

 



They even let me sit next to the cutest fan in the stadium ;)

 



We took the sign's advice and took the T into Fenway. MUCH easier. No parking. No fighting traffic {on the way in or way out}. AND Daniel has become quite the expert navigator ... from the red line, to the green line and off at Park Street.



 

Taking advantage of already being in the city, we ventured over to an amazing, authentic BBQ restaurant. It was totally worth jumping off the juicing wagon for the weekend to eat at Sweet Cheeks. Introduced to us by some dear neighbors, it has quickly become a favorite spot for all things southern eatin'.

 "Sweet Cheeks is the American south north of the Mason Dixon." -Sweet Cheeks

These AMAZING, mouthwatering, homemade biscuits with a divine honey butter spread simply melt in your mouth.

 so good.

 

 

I believe I can confidently say there is nothing better to wash down this deliciousness with than ice-cold, homemade sweet tea, served in an adorable Mason jar.  

And for the pièce de résistance - BBQ ribs, slow roasted pulled pork, brisket, potato salad and mac n' cheese. PARTY in my mouth.
