Travel log: June 2008

Earlier this month, I joined Brandon on a trip to Boston, where we performed touristy acts such as following the Freedom Trail, purchasing souveneirs at Fenway Park, and running out of gas in America’s Walking City.  We spent eight days in the northeast and crashed at Danny and Lauren’s place.  It’ll probably be the last time I go up there before they move back here in August.

We also took a day to jump on the infamous Fung Wah Chinatown bus to New York.  I’d never been to the Big Apple, and at $15, the price was right.

We checked out ground zero, boated around to lady liberty, caught lunch at Tom’s, and wandered around Times Square.  After that we toured 30 Rock and got lost on the subway.  Plenty of fun to be had in that town for under a C-note.

After that, we caught a Red Sox game, where they lost to the Orioles, and I officially banned Brandon from ever returning to that site.

Once we flew back to the midwest, we immediately grabbed Jaime and a rental car and drove up to Colorado Springs for Rich and Michelle’s wedding.  Karaoke was enjoyed, songs were butchered, 6-pt beer was ingested at 7,000 ft.

After the wedding we all drove up to Denver for some Casa Bonita and a Coors tour in Golden.  As a non beer-drinker, I still found the tour fascinating.

I’ve caught up on my laundry and my sleep since then, and now it’s blogged.
