Faneuil Hall is the place to be today!!

Let's see if i can keep up with the names......I'm not that good at names, but I will give it a try....there was 9 of us today. So there was moi representing @onewhitedog, and we had Bonnie there representing her kitty cat @LilyLuWhoT, and then there is @CountryClare7's Mom was there today, then there was Judy and her partner June who arrived representing their pet @iamDaisyDoo, then there was Monique and Brian that came in honor of their @Ri_Guy, and then, and then we had @gromekcat Mom and Dad was there (having hard time remembering their names, but very nice people. I hope I didn't forget to mention anyone.

We missed @grrlysquirrel75, I don't know if it was just bad timing or she was having a hard time with the transportation section of it, but unfortunately, I guess, will all the ever she put in to getting her, she was shy and embarrassed about holding everyone up and left. We never even saw what she looked like or explored her personality or said Hi! So I'm hope from the bottom of my heart we get a little to do this tweet up again and this time we will exchange phone numbers to easily get ahold of people in need of reconfirmation on times, directions, and where we are all going to meet. Like more of a solid plan than "I showed up, but didn't know what anyone looked like and went home again" I NEVER want to hear that ever. Well, when we go out together next time, we are to exchange every one's phone numbers to each other of who is gong to be there. No more unease looks and confusion. If anyone wants to do this again (and yes, in my eyes, it was a huge success.) This is what I had been looking forward to for the past three weeks - I mean, Nov 12th was burned in my head to meet the people on the other side of the Twitterverse!!! Okay I got there with plenty of time to spare.....I mean I got there in plenty of time, but not enough time to go wandering too far away and get lost.......NOPE, this chick wasn't getting lost down here! :) Wanna see what I saw??? Me too!! :) Oh, and everyone got a kick (and, at first, didn't believe me at all) that my license plates says basically 'Wait For Me'. They said "Nooooo, way!" I said "It's a miracle I'm ready to go anywhere on time, and get their on time should be a different story (or license plate) all together. Some people have a good sense of time, others, like me, just can't manage to stay ahead of that clock. Heehee!! Okay, I'll shut up now and show you what I sawwwwwww :) :) :)

This is the first sight I saw when I hopped into Faneuil Hall....Wow, let's explore! :)

Looking at this picture is the front door to Durgin Park. I was heard that this restaurant started by two people. One person's last name was Durgin and the other last name was Park! Neat huh!

I'm just taking some pictures around where I'm standing outside.....it's nice outside, I only had a sweatshirt on.....let's take a walk around for alittle bit.....

Is that what I think it is?? Let's get closer.......

Ohhhhhh, it is Dick's Last Resort!!!!! I've been to one of these in Texas somewhere.

Got to sneak some pictures in of Quincy Market!!!!!

Nice upper view of Quicy Market!! Lots of food inside here.

Ohhhhh, what is the comossion gonig on over there to the left side of the building.....quick! Let's go see!!!

See!!! There's something gonig on over there and I'm too curious to leave it alone.... :)

Oh, it's a performer struggling to get his body inside the frame of a tennis rack...hmmmmm, yeah, you heard me the first time...... :)

Yep, he does it. I don't really see any tip jar around him, but I'm sure he'll pull them out when the act is done. I'm outta here!

Let's go into the Market place to shop around.....

They have these vendor wagons all over the place wanting to send you home with a "Boston" souvenir! :)

Wanna see the menu???

Let's see here........I'mmmmmm thinking I'll gooooooo, hmmmm, with the Chicken Pot Pie!!! :)

Stripers Grille Restaurant

Today we went to Salisbury, Massachusetts for lunch at Stripers Grille Restaurant (this link should open in a new window for ya). Today is my uncle's birthday and he picked the restaurant. I love trying new restaurants. It is in a great location and very easy to get to off Route 1. According to the GPS, it is 46 miles from our home. In my opinion, Stripers is reasonably priced, but very noisy. It is very hard to have a conversation inside the restaurant due to neighboring tables seated very close to each other and the small room where the restaurant is held in. I'm glad I went here, but boy, I can't imagine this place in the summer, gotta be mega hopping busy. We got there a tad early and I got some pictures around the outside of the restaurant. Behind the restaurant is a smaller tiny restaurant, marina, and dock. You'll love the pictures......Oh, for lunch I had the 4 piece chicken with the salad bar......it was pretty darn good food...... :)

Here's the sign!

This is a restaurant, marina, dock, and a hotel attached to it....

A little bit closer view of front of restaurant....

This is what you see when you walk in the front door and the restaurant is up the stairs....

When you get upstairs, they have a model display of the business.....take a good look at this picture....I'm about to show you everything in this picture outside....

Okay, this is the little restaurant and water front area behind Stripers....

Well, that's what I did today. This evening I just took Jake out to get my mail and hopped over to McDonald's for their $1 iced tea. Now I'm home for the night. Have a good night, bug you tomorrow :)
