Boston- St. Patty's Day weekend...

OK the pictures are finally up!! haha
They are put up in backwards order. It was too much work to change it around.

Monday night Kristie and I ate dinner at the Hard Rock Cafe. It was alright...nothing to write home about, so I'll leave it at that.

Monday (late) night my co-worker Matt and I along with a few perspective customers, headed to Cambridge to a really nice bar directly across the street from Harvard called Grafton Street. We met a guy by the name of Pete Henderson, he is a CEO of a mobile phone company in Africa. He came to Harvard to study for 3 years, along with another 100+ people of all orgins that are also multi-millionaires and CEO's of their own companies. Pretty cool... He used to be a reporter for the BBC and was telling us some pretty amazing stories.

On Sunday night I went out to dinner with some co-workers and the Lindgren-Pitman group which we always meet up with during the Boston Show, to the Union Oyster House. It is the oldest restaurant in America. The clam chowder there was amazing!!!

Some interesting facts about the place:

*It is located on the Freedom Trail, near Faneuil Hall, started serving food in 1826 and has continued ever since.

*In 1796, The future king of France once occupied a room on the second floor.

*John F. Kennedy was also a regular customer and enjoyed lobster stew. Seeking privacy, he dined upstairs in his favorite booth - now "The Kennedy Booth" which has been dedicated in his memory.

*Union Oyster House is where the toothpick was first introduced to the United States. Entrepreneur Charles Forster of Maine first imported the pick from South America. As a marketing ploy, he employed Harvard students to dine at the Oyster House and request the aid of tooth-picks.

Saturday night, the first night we were in Boston, we went out to McFadden's to celebrate St. Patricks day. Shannon and Steve came out from Rhode Island and met up with some friends, my sister Kristie came up, and my co-worker Matt also made an appearance. As you can tell below we all had a great time!!!

By the end of the night Crystal dropped, broke, and almost lost everything! haha

McFadden's used to be an old bank, the basement still had the huge safe and all the lock boxes still in it...
