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!
