Was excited to see a good high school friend who I haven't seen since last spring but his bus was late coming up from NYC.
So to kill time down town we briefly hit NEAq. I landed another parking karma awesomeness spot a block away from the Aquarium in the other direction than I did last week and we trundled across the street avoiding the dozens of green clad drunken revelers for the St Patty's Day bar crawls.
I thought of my younger days looking at the time those kids were having...
The penguins were singing, the scuba guy was feeding the shark in the center tank, and little man ran up and down and up and down the ramp. We played in the kids area for a little and then... it came. He wanted to visit his favorite place in the whole Aquarium.
The Cafe - for their pizza and a chocolate sugar milk. *sigh*
We always sit in the windows and he watches the people.
We then went to meet my friend, got another amazing parking spot by the common, hit the SB by beacon hill next to the common gate, and walked around the whole common and through the botanical garden chatting. In the near dark of the dusk the day before daylight savings. It was really great to catch up.
Then we packed into the car and (very probably lost his boot here!) and went to somerville to see Auntie and MB for dinner. Which Auntie helped cook - which was a pretty big deal as MB and I love to cook, watch shows about it and generally obsess and she... does it b/c she has to eat. But I think we are wearing her down :)
Though they did spend ten minutes after dinner loading in all their calories and stuff on an app. I wish Big Man and I were a little more concerned with our health. But a possible wedding isn't staring us quite in the face as it is for them...
isn't that one of the things about being happily married - you get a little squishy and its no bigs?
