Rocks!

We went up to Boston this weekend to play with our friends. Mostly we ate, played board games, watched Doctor Who, and lolled around on the most comfortable couch of all time, but we did go out Saturday to Quincy Quarry so the boys could climb all over rocks while me and Stephanie cross-stitched on a picnic blanket. Gender roles!

Look at Ben climb up that rock like some sort of rock-climbing monkey!

Look at Martí climb up that rock like some sort of shirtless rock-climbing monkey!

A lot of the rocks are covered in graffiti, which looks somewhat cool but apparently makes them harder to climb. Also, we learned that back in the day the quarry was full of water, and people would dump bodies there. So, I guess some vandalism isn't too bad, historically speaking.

We also spent time hanging out in Boston Common, where we randomly ran into a big group of people we went to college with. Then we walked up Newbury Street and ate ice cream at Emack and Bolio's, which was as delicious as I remembered. All in all, a great weekend - the only downside is that now we both really want to move back to Cambridge.
