Dad came for a visit!

My dad came up this past weekend to pay me a visit, get a snapshot of my life here, and let's be honest...go to a Bruin's game.

We had a blast! Although it was rainy most of the day Friday (and I complained most of the day), we had a great time. I gave him the ultimate tour of Dorchester, BP, and my apartment (complete with quiz questions).

Top 5 of the weekend:

1. Getting to sleep in (and stay in a hotel!!). No wake-up calls. No making up beds. Free shampoo. It was just a relaxing weekend altogether.
2. Beating dad in Gin. If you're not familiar with the card game, it's really fun. I might be biased though...I did win and all...What was the score dad? 210 to 3?
3. Bruin's game. Loved the excitement of the crowd. Bruins beat the Rangers. Dad even showed up at the airport sporting a Bruin's hat.
4. No Name Restaurant. Really good seafood. Great atmosphere. Right on the water.
5. Getting to watch CBS Sunday Morning with dad. Reminded me of being at home in Nashville. And sometimes that is so necessary.

What a great weekend! Come back dad...
