Sorry for the delay. It’s been a pretty crazy and exhausting week!

So anyway…thanks to Jen for sharing her photos with me, so I will be posting some of hers as well. Actually, as it turns out, all the photos in this post are courtesy of Jen. 🙂

After we left the pizza shop, we headed over to some famous Boston bar…the something and something. (Tooth and Nail? no…Globe and Mail? no…something that sounds like that, though. 😉 ) Oh, wait…entirely possible that it was the Bell in Hand. Ok, not really close at all.

Shannon’s school was holding a fundrasier, which included a raffle. We went to check out some of the raffle items.

I touched my first little blue box from Tiffany.

But alas, none of us won the little blue box. (I think it was a keychain…)

I did, however, win a lovely backpack with the Amstel Light logo.

Jen, Shannon and I posed for a “family” photo…see, in our sorority, Jen was my little, and Shannon was hers. All together now…awwww…. 🙂

Jen had a really nasty glass of vodka tonic. (That’s vodka, with a splash of tonic. Click here, here and here to see our reactions).

And then we posed for an “all us girls in Boston” photo:

(Apparently, that pink sweater of mine loves to be photographed…)

After leaving the fundraiser, remarking about how tired we were (it’s eleven! on a Friday night! we’re old.), Shannon stopped for pastries.

Here’s Shannon at the counter at Mike’s Pastries.

I got an eclair the size of my head. No photo, sorry. 😉

And I’ll get around to part III…the shower itself…soon!

Jen and I left very, very early Friday morning to make the trek to Boston for our dear friend Shannon’s bridal shower weekend. Yes, it was a long trip, but cheap flights from Buffalo were nowhere to be found. Besides, if Jen and I don’t make a long road trip together a couple of times a year, I feel like something’s missing from my life. 😉

We made good time, listened to (and sang) Jesus Christ Superstar in its entirety. (and by the way…I made the whole trip there and back on only 2 and a half Dr. Peppers.) I’m sure Jen will have more details on this soon…

After picking the other Jen up from the airport on Friday, we headed to Boston’s north side and the world-famous (so says the menu) Pizzeria Regina.

Shannon found a killer parking space and did an amazing u-turn in the middle of a busy street to get the spot.

Pizzeria Regina is a teeny tiny (and very popular) place. Therefore, you must wait outside for a table. And it was (as they say in Boston) wicked cold on Friday. Windy. Brrr.

It wasn’t terribly long before we got in, and promptly fitted Shannon with her “bride-to-be” crown and sash.

And before you know it, pizza!

It was quite tasty. Brick-oven baked, thin crust, oozy, gooey cheese. Yum.

Jen played us some Shannon-themed tunes on the jukebox, starting with Crocodile Rock (one of our college Greek sing songs) and ending with Here Comes the Bride. Hee.

Ok…things to do. Look for at least a part II (and possibly a part III) later!
