Hello Louisville!

Well, I finally got out of Providence. After a meer 4.5 hours in the skies, I have landed in Louisville. Not really my destination. And sadly, since we were first sent to St. Louis, our pilots had no more hours to give, so our plane, and one other, were shut down. So, here I sit. I'm on a flight at 6:50 AM now. I wonder where that will take me. . . .

Stayed tuned, I could be in Gnome next.

Stoopid Storms!

I know I have tons of updating to do and will do it soon.

Right now, all I have to say is I'm never leaving this airport. And, not that I don't love you Providence, but, sitting in your airport isn't really my idea of fun.

Mild Debauchary

After a morning of hanging around Chris' so he could finish up some work, we packed the car and headed out to meet Jim at his house outside of Boston. And, I finally got to meet his Mom, who'm I've heard wonderful things about. The rumors were true, she's a doll. Not an actual creepy doll with the eyes that close when you lay it down, but a sweet, sweet lady. I also got to meet his new niece, Molly, and both his dogs. If I had room for any of them in my luggage, they'd be with me now.

Then, it was off to Boston for the abbreviated tour. Which, for us, meant looking at landmarks from afar, and pubs from the inside. Here's a quick pictorial of it. . .

First stop, Beantown Pub for drinks and food. Pigs in a blanket rocked our world.







Next to the Historic Omni Parker House where we had a little menage Boston Cream Pie at the Parker Resturant.









Side note, Debbie had on no make-up so this is the only time her agent would allow her on film.











Then it was to Patty O's where we started our mini pub crawl with gusto! Side note, #2, Jim was one of the crew that sailed the Mayflower last year on it's anniversary out of Plymouth. Thus the awesome tattoo. The boyish goodlooks just come naturally.











Then we went to Taps where we started up a trend of hanging with others from out of town. This is Vicki and her husband (name, unknown) from Connecticut. The were chatting it up with Chris bigtime. A guy from Florida was sitting next to me and we kibbitz about nothing for about an hour. They have these black and blues here that are Guinness (of course) and blueberry ale. I think I found my new favorite drink.



Our final drink stop (no matter how much Jim begged for more) was Purple Shamrock. No idea what my first dark beer was because Jim ordered it for me, but, it was good. Then, a woman representing a hard cider (can't remember the name of that either) set us up with a glass each and scratch off tickets. Here's what we won . .








A cap, iTunes card and, look, a Chris!!!! Well, hey the name of the cider is on the bottle and glass. I'm gonna say it's Magner's.

After this, we headed back to Jim's to get Chris' car and left for Salem. We're here now and the rest of the crew should be getting in shortly. I'm getting a little excited!!!

Crying Baby Cemetary

We stopped by during the day and at night yesterday. My computer is having some issues getting the video to work. But don't dispair. We're going try it on Chris' iBook, named "Ghost" due to it's white color, tonight. We heard some odd noises at midnight, but, I'm not sure if it was crying babies. It's so overgrown that you can't see anything, and I was not willing to risk life and limb to go in there.

Stay tuned for video coverage later this evening.

It's a wicked pisah

I'm heading to Boston for the day. I hear their baked beans and cream pies are out of this world. (When did this trip become all about the food? Who am I kidding, it's always about the food.)

It's our friend Jim, pictured here with Chris from our trip to Disney, who has kindly offered to take me on a tour. I'm very excited because the closest I've come to Boston is their airport, and, even though that sounds like a hoot, it was not.

After Boston, it's on to Salem. We've decided to go a day early so that Chris be there early Friday morning to work on the Lizzie Borden Museum. That also makes me happy because I can do some touristy things on my own. It's been year's since I hit the witch museum, wax museum and witch trial re-enactment. There is a cheese factor to all of it that I find intoxicating.

We're also going to check out the Lyceum Bar and Grill tonight. Wish me ghosties!

Which way do I go?

Paradise sounds nice. But, is it a trick?

Dining at Scales and Shells

Ok, I dont want to be over excited about the meal, so, I'll take a few calming breaths. . . calming air in. . . excitable air out. . . calming air in. . . excitable air out. . .

BEST FREAK'N FOOD EVER!!!

We had scallops and little necks and calimari and grilled asparagus and grilled eggplant. So good, I mean, c'mon look at it -

Well, shoot, that's just the empty, ravished pots and plates.

Ok, then instead check out this pink grapefruit sorbet. I dream about this stuff between visits-

That's Chris digging in with gusto. Honestly, this stuff rocks.

We also had some of this amazing creme brulee -

Well, dagnabbit, that seems to be all gone too.

Kate. . . this swirls for you

Side Note. . . .

Debbie's a real moron when it comes to video, so, when they finally do show up on the blog, don't be a harsh critic. Instead, just be happy you have something to mock.

Hello Rhode Island!!!

Well, I've made it in one piece. And let me tell you, my friends, 3:50 AM comes 'round entirely too soon. But, I made it to the airport in plenty of time and our plane was mostly empty, so I was able to spread out and nap.

The weather here is amazing! (especially when compared to the sauna I'm escaping this weekend in Chicago) I've already had my first bowl of chowder, AND, my first wine tasting. Mom would be so proud.

Chris and I are getting ready to do some fun crafting type stuff, then heading to the screaming baby cemetary for some daylight footage, then to Newport. After Newport, it will be back to SBC for midnight filming. OOooohhhhhh. . . scary.

Here's a picture of Chris to keep you going until the next entry-
