After some struggling with Delta.com (HATE), Matt and I finally managed to get seats together in the very back row of the plane. We arrived in Boston around 7pm, got our rental car (which we promptly named Disposo 2), and headed off to Worcester. He had a presentation there in the morning.<\/p>\n
Arriving in Massachusetts meant I’d now been to my 45th state!!<\/p>\n
The drive was surprisingly quick. We checked into the hotel and began researching options for dinner. We finally decided on the place we could see from the window in our room, called 99 Restaurant and Pub. It ended up being an east-coast version of TGI Fridays, but we didn’t care. I got the two things on the menu without meat: a salad and french onion soup. They also had cheap margaritas. You can’t really go wrong with that.<\/p>\n
We drove around town for a while afterwards looking for somewhere awesome to go, but that place was not apparent. After circling for a while, we decided to just go back to the hotel. It was late, and we had to get up far too early.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
