Well, here I am in Boston and I'm so excited that Brimfield has finally arrived. I've been anticipating a trip to this flea market for quite some time. Before heading to the hotel yesterday evening, my hubby and I made a stop at a fabulous restaurant called B&G Oysters. Our anniversary is today, so it was nice to celebrate with a yummy dinner. The place was recommended to us by a guy that we sat next to on the plane ~ his aunt is the chef at this renowned little spot. Needless to say, he gave it rave reviews ~ and he was right ~ it was scrumptious!
Afterwards, we decided to walk the neighborhood and found ourselves right smack-dab in the middle of the famed South Boston Historic District, known for its wonderful old Brownstones. It was such a charming area. I couldn't help but snap a few pics of some of my favorite doors to share. It seemed fitting to give them names ~ so I did. :)

OK...this is probably one of my favorite post! Two reasons...First is that it makes me SO happy that you are doing such a fun trip with your sweet husband...and second is because I LOVE doors! They are SO important to the facade of every home...these amazing brownstone doors have me wanting to hop a plane to Boston!! XO!
