And now, back to our regularly scheduled travelogue.....
Friday morning we got up and packed the Highlander with stuff to take to the wedding site. Allison rode the scooter and Sissy, rebby and I followed in the Highlander. We stopped at another one of my all time favorite breakfast places, Soundbites. On a Friday morning there was no line, so we went right in and got our own coffee and juices from the coffeebar. It's tiny, but always packed with people who know a good breakfast when they eat one. I had the same thing I always get there, and I can't remember what it is called, but it has eggs and bacon and noplacelikehomefries, and a split grilled corn muffin. Ohhh. Rebby had the Moroccan eggs, which I've had before (a long time ago, before I discovered the grilled corn muffin breakfast) I can't really remember what sissy and Allison had, but it was all good. Whatever sissy had was served with a giant mountain of fresh fruit. Yum.
After the breakfast we headed to the Habitat. We put our stuff into the Saturday garage and then walked around a bit to look at the grounds and the house. It was a beautiful spot for a wedding. From there we headed back home where I got down to some cooking, rebby cleaned a bit, and the ladies went to their nail appointment. Around 4pm rebby and I took my sissy's car to get Kyle (bro!) from the airport. It was slightly terrifying to be driving in Boston rush hour traffic, but not as terrifying as when we actually arrived at the airport. They are really brutal about the arrangements for picking people up! You have to cross three lanes of fast moving traffic and whip over to the curb and shove your passenger in as fast as possible and then GET OUT OF THERE! There are traffic marshals yelling at you the whole time. Talk about stress! And then, you have to pay $3.00 for the privilege of getting out of the airport! Nice scam you got there, Boston. Hopefully they will take my $3.00 and use it toward repairing the tunnel that fell down a couple of days after we passed through it. Anyway, we got back to the place and settled in....I got back to cooking, rebby entertained Kyle, and the sisters fussed over their nails and tried on their dresses. And wrote their vows. Hee! Before too long the rest of the Johnstons arrived and we set off for our pimpy dinner at Legal Seafoods. We divided up into tall people in the Highlander and short people in the Echo. I was on the tall side for once! After both cars getting lost (thank goodness for the modern convenience of cell phones!) we finally all arrived at our destination, the original restaurant on the water. It was lovely, and my grilled "everything" tuna was fantastic. Rebby got a stuffed halibut filet that I "tasted" quite a bit of...wow, was that good. Everything was good. Kyle had his first ever clam chowder and was suitably impressed. The younger sisters had steak and chicken. Ha. We ate kind of fast because we had to get to Fenway for the Pirates! There was a lot of traffic congestion which we later found out was a result of the Sheryl Crow/Dave Matthews concert. Who knew?
We finally got to the theater and were able to go right in since sissy had pre-ordered the tickets (thank goodness for the modern convenience of internet ticket ordering!) but alas, the only seats available were in the FRONT row. So it's a huge theater, with a curved screen, and it's almost 11pm, and we are in the FRONT ROW. I still enjoyed the movie, but I definitely need to see it again under less taxing circumstances. It was nice, though, to be seeing it on opening night with the family.
Needless to say, by 1am we were all thoroughly wrecked and went pretty much directly to be when we got back.
Next up...it's the big day!
