sisters weekend : day three

turns out everyone lived through the night and didn't freeze to death. hooray! remember my post north end nice end? well i liked that day and i tried my best to recreate it for the sisters. mindy's bffs came up to spend the day with us so we all headed to little italy together. it was supposed to snow and be really cold that day but it really wasn't that bad and only rained - which made little italy look so dreamy and nice!

we ate at la famiglia which was family style and delicious. i don't know what happened to this picture but their faces and cameras make me laugh every time i look at it.
 "i never took pictures of food until i joined this family" - mindy, sister-in-law

next stop was mike's pastry, a tourist favorite. locals aren't all that jazzed over it but somehow the word got out about mike's so every tourist ever somehow crams themselves in there to get some of his treats. mindy could not be happier with this moment because who doesn't want to feel like they are on cake boss?

none of us had ever eaten a cannoli before so we all got our own and the vote was unanimous. two thumbs way up for those guys. 

after going into a sugar coma we walked around and found paul revere and the north church and midget doors

then another cemetery

and then headed over to the holocaust memorial, which is something i might take everyone who visits me out here to see  

i felt so happy to see these bag pipers playing in a little parade they made of themselves and then in a matter of minutes felt so sad to see these girls ruin colored skinnies for everyone

boston baked beans! i didn't even put that together until that moment. 

we walked around quincy market and jay got tired.

so eventually we went to no name to get some seafood and felt how cheers looked in the sitcom, just so eighties and so..i can't even explain it. i just did not feel like i was in 2012 but we had a great time. mindy and tricia got their very own lobsters which was a really exciting moment obviously and then the rest of us thoroughly enjoyed watching them pull the lobsters a part and eat them.

and our waiter had the funniest polygamy jokes and gave us such a nice speech about having good friends and appreciating them. look at their faces, those were not posed people. the love for our friend in the yellow was real. was his name patrick? i feel sad i can't remember.

then we had to end the night with another round of toscanini's ice cream which was torture for jay because that meant we passed mary chung's chinese food restaurant which jay is obsessed with and couldn't stop talking about the entire day

and here we are with our third and final ice cream treats. i'm really only putting this awful picture to showcase our sister tricia. that pink hat and neck warmer combo were really the highlight of the trip.
