Two Birthdays & A Bridal Shower

This weekend I celebrated the birthdays of two good friends. Derek was celebrated on Friday night at Delux and Franklin Cafe, the usual South End stomping grounds.
Mike was celebrated on Sunday night at Victoria Station, a Steak & Seafood restaurant located on picturesque Pickering Wharf in Salem, MA.
The Bridal Shower earlier that day was in honor of Adam's sister Kirsten.
That would be me and the giant shower present from Crate & Barrel. I think no matter what you buy there, you get a larger-than-necessary box filled with an excessive amount of tissue paper. The bridal shower was held at the elegant Boston Harbor Hotel. I adore this hotel and not just because it is within walking distance from my apartment. We stayed here on a family trip to the city when I was very young, maybe five or six? I don't remember the details, just that we stayed at the "biggest and fanciest hotel ever", with an incredible archway connecting the city to the waterfront. I knew from a young age I wanted to live in this city someday. My infatuation's origin can pretty much be traced back to this very spot. No menu accompanied lunch, just great service in a luxury hotel function room with exquisite food and drink.
The views were absolutely stunning. Here is Rowes Wharf complete with the Blues Barge and the Rotunda out the windows to the left.
The front of the room looked directly out over the pristine Boston Harbor. It was a memorable afternoon for sure. I can't wait until the wedding!
Another great weekend with friends and family comes to an end. It was goodbye to July and welcome August. There are plenty of plans in store for this month, beginning tomorrow with my Aunt Joyce's annual visit.
