Volvo Ocean Race




Posted by Picasa
We had such a great weekend. Not only was it our first Mother's Day (more on that later) but the weather was awesome and we were downtown a lot. Saturday we headed down to Fan Pier, which is I guess technically is in Southie, but more like downtown, but not really. Anyways, those of you familiar with Boston will know where I'm talking about, and those of you who aren't, it's not that important.
The racers competing in the Volvo Ocean competition, which basically takes place around the world, had stopped in Boston and we wanted to check out the boats. Also they had a lot of different vendors and food things set up, there was supposed to be an Oyster Festival, shocker - we went for the food... But I guess we went too early because the darn ships were out for a race and the oyster fest hadn't begun yet! D'oh! We still had a great time. We found parking no problem (also the sign of a great time waiting to happen!), we got to watch a sail boat race, and we had some decent food while Annie took a nap! All in all it was a really fun day!
