Thanks for the Memories

Hello,

Well, since the only people who ever read this blog were our friends and family you all must know by now that we are no longer living in Cayman but have moved to Boston!

We want to thank everyone for their support during our move to Cayman, it was an amazing time and we miss it dearly but we are also very excited for our new adventures in Boston. We will no longer post from this blog but will be posting from our new blog www.podanyfamily.blogspot.com. We promise to share stories about our growing family, local explorations, trips and lots of photos.

Well, it's been real. This is Christina, signing off.

Christmas in Boston

This year we spent the first weekend of our Christmas vacation in Boston. We always have talked about taking a mini-trip on our way home to Kansas and this year we finally did. It was our Christmas gift to each other and we had a wonderful time enjoying it! Above is a photo of the Christmas Tree at Quincy Market. Bob didn't believe it was real until I made him get up close to it.

On our trip we visited two breweries for tours. Above is a photo of us in the tasting room of the Samuel Adams Testing Facility. It was a neat tour and we even saw some of the men from their commercials.

We also went to the Harpoon Brewery in South Boston and it was amazing. Definitely the best tour we've ever been on.

Here Bob is observing the brewing process. They did a nice job of explaining beer making and letting us sample beers in different states. They also had a lot of fun beers to taste in their tasting room, we especially liked their Winter Warmer. Harpoon is best known for their flagship Harpoon IPA. I'd suggest trying it if you ever get the chance, and that coming from a non-IPA drinker. We also made it over to Boston Beer Works for a Blueberry Beer, of course.

Don't worry, we ate on our trip too. Our meals were focused on lobster bisque and italian seafood dishes from Giacomo's. Here we are on our first morning having a late breakfast of lobster bisque. We weren't messing around :)

This trip was in the winter but that didn't put the idea of baseball out of Bob's mind. As we've never been to a game at Fenway we decided to take a tour of the grounds. Here is Bob looking ver serious in the press box. I think he was imaging a Royals/Red Sox series.

Overall we had a wonderful time in Boston. Our hotel was fantastic and the weather was cold but sunny. We had some lovely walks around town, great food and interesting beers. Overall a wonderful Christmas vacation!
