Week Part II
First off, finally changed the template for my page -- nice to see they've implemented Vox-style templates. Most of you probably just read this via your own friendpage, but personally, it's nice to have something with some contrast. My eyes were going out reading this on Liz's Macbook (did I mention Liz got a new Macbook? She's spoiled!), even with Nocturne activated.
So, before I completely forget what happened. Last weekend we took a quick trip to Boston. Perhaps financially ill-advised, as it took our monthly finances from "surprisingly in the black" to "oh shit," but what else is new? Friday morning we headed into Boston to hit the Children's Museum, which was a lot of fun. Had some lunch by the water and then headed over to our friends Jenn & Jim's house in Lexington. That evening was J&J's standing babysitter appointment, so we just added our kid to the pile and then the four of us went out for a fun adult evening. Sushi, drinks, and dessert fondue*. Pretty damn fun! Then to bed.
Saturday morning we hung out a while, received our biennial giant pile of hand-me-downs from J&J for Dexter, and then they all headed off to a SteveSongs concert, while we headed over to the
DeCordova Museum and Sculpture Gardens, which we hadn't visited in a year or so. Very fun, and it just so happened their current indoor exhibit was very cool: Trainscapes, in which they commissioned a dozen artists or so to make landscapes for a model train to drive through. As one could guess, the results ranged from the traditional-looking to the avant-garde. I think this was my favorite:
