This is my last work trip to Boston, and I am doing my best to squeeze in as many activities before I leave, to remember the good times. I participated in the Pics with Pats event in the office, met with a bunch of people, and went out with a few friends to celebrate my birthday again. We went to Lincoln Tavern, one of the places I am going to miss.

This evening we hosted a party at home, both to celebrate my birthday and as a housewarming party. But first, we did our normal morning walk with the Kicks and I showed Gabi our walk by the river.
I knew we would be too distracted to take photos once the party started, so we took a single photo before everyone started to show up.

I spent my birthday in the office, in an all day meeting with my new boss and my new team. She got cupcakes to celebrate my birthday, which was a nice gesture. I then got to go home to celebrate with my family, and we went out to J Alexanders, our favorite, for dinner.
My sister came from Baltimore, which made me happy. It had been a while since my parents, my sister, and I were together for my birthday. Or maybe even for anyone’s birthday.

Following our family tradition, this year we participated in the Queen Bee again. Bella and I ran the 4 miler. Lionel was supposed to run as well, but he got hurt playing soccer. He still came to drive us there and cheer us on. And we ran into my friend T and her daughter. The Queen Bee is a classic for them as well.
After the race we went back home and I walked Kika by the river. The race was still going on, so we got to see some of the half marathon runners.

Tonight I took myself out for a nice dinner. All by myself. I normally don’t do well by myself, and was tempted to just grab something quick, like the other days, but decided to be a big girl. I thought they would just sit me at the bar, or not the best table, but actually got a nice table for two by the window. I had good food and a nice view. And took my time to enjoy my meal vs rushing to get out of there. I was proud of myself.

Walking from Grandma and Grandpa’s house to the office I got to see the beautiful sunrise. I then wanted to capture the afternoon light from the office, and the night views. I want to remember them all.
