Saturday morning we got up and I made homemade pancakes with wild blueberries (yes, from the 5-lb box that's still in my freezer* (*side note, who wants to inherit these when I have to defrost my freezer next week!?!), and we went out to Waltham to pick up our new sink! Now for the adventure part
: there's this place called Blue Hills Reservation near Milton that I swear I've been talking about wanting to go to for months now. P was sick of hearing me go on about this place so he finally acquiesced when his parents came (he wanted to look good, probably). So we bundled up, although it wasn't that bad outside, probably 35F, and made the trek down there to Houghton's Pond. We hiked the super easy yellow trail, but it was still really refreshing to be outside, and in nature! We are somewhat deprived of nature being in the city all the time. Again, I don't know if everyone else enjoyed it as much as I did, but oh well. I'm definitely going back.
We were still up for some more adventure, but of a different kind, so we got back in the car and drove up to Gloucester for some lobbies -- at a place called Gloucester House. They were juicy, sweet, and boiled to perfection. We rolled out of there... and retreated to the couch for some R&R.
Sunday after church we tried brunch at 75 Chestnut, where we had been before for dinner. Yum. They had live jazz and hot buttery pecan sticky rolls upon arrival. (Then of course the Superbowl. But I have to admit that was the least exciting part of the weekend.) My FIL (father in law) and I took a side trip to the aquarium while P and his mom watched pre-game.
All in all, a great weekend. Thanks for being great PILs (parents in law). You're not pills (at all).

Looks like you all had a great time last week
I love to read about your adventures - it sounds like you had a great time! I realize that I should probably have a lobster sometime while we're here on the east coast, even though Timo can't eat them. Love your pictures! And, if they aren't claimed yet I'd love to inherit your blueberries.. We LOVE blueberry pancakes.
