NEW at Liberty Station

I've talked about this place before.

But it has been in the news again with the addition of Liberty Public Market -- a food court similar to San Francisco's Ferry Building Marketplace.

Totally worth a visit and do eat in the Mess Hall so you can grab a glass of wine or beer while eating your lobster roll, thai salad, bratwurst, or sushi!

They have also added a theatre/restaurant to Liberty Station called THE LOT, now you can have a cappuccino and croissant before the matinee (and skip the soda and red vines).

Ice Cream and Seafood Diet

Vacation started on a Thursday afternoon and went to the following Wednesday night. My plan, besides heading to the East Coast to hang out with relatives, attend a wedding and float around lake(s), was to consume ice cream and seafood every single day.

So, just for fun, I weighed myself the morning I departed and then again when I arrived home. Expecting the worse.

And I LOST two pounds.

Which is rather incredible because by Day 4 I was nervous that I wouldn't fit in my new inner tube (purchased at the Wolfeboro Hardware Store, for $3.99, it was the last one on the shelf and was meant for kids age 9 and up).

I highly recommend this summer vacation eating plan (in combination with hours on the dance floor and swimming)!

Here we go:

Charles Street in Boston. J.P. Licks

Lobster Rolls and Fried Fish and Fries and Soda at Janine's Frostee

Order the Black Raspberry ice cream, you won't be disappointed.

That is a SMALL cone, guess we should have ordered the 'kid' size!

Incredible shrimp cocktail at Shibley's at the Pier in Alton Bay, New Hampshire.

There are always HUGE lines. This photo was taken two hours before they opened.
Bailey's Bubble in Wolfeboro, New Hampshire.
Fluffer Nutter Sundae is on the menu, only in New England!

Our favorite dinner - grilled swordfish tacos at the Wolfetrap in New Hampshire.

Great view.

Lunch in Portsmouth at River House.

One never tires of lobster rolls in brioche buns.

Massachusetts Institute of Technology

Until this trip, I only knew MIT from Good Will Hunting, that movie with Matt Damon, Ben Affleck and Robin Williams.

Turns out that my math whiz of a nephew (junior in high school this year) thinks of this place as his DREAM SCHOOL when pressed to answer the question, "If you could go anywhere you want and money is no object?"

So we walked around campus and soaked up the smarts that lingered in the halls.

Beautiful place. Beautiful location.

Looks out on the Charles River!

Miracle of Science Bar and Grill

Students moving in. What a grand building to call home while you are in college.

Not every building is old and brick...there is a nod to modern.
