Thanksgiving in Boston

For Thanksgiving our lovely friends Simon and Tracy in Boston invited us up to celebrate with them.  They live in Salem just north of Boston.  Simon is a great cook and he cooked an amazing, traditional Thanksgiving dinner for us all.  Simon and Tracy have an adorable little girl, Avery who is 18 months old.  She is so cute and found a new best friend in Chris.

After a couple of days in Salem, Chris and I drove into Boston for another couple of nights.  We stayed in the Liberty Hotel which is a converted prison.

It was a lovely time of year to visit Boston, all the Christmas lights were up but it was absolutely freezing cold up there!

We finally made it to a Max Brenner's restaurant.  We had been wanting to go for ages but there isn't one in DC so we made sure that we went to the Boston one, in fact we ended up going twice!

First time for brunch, second time just for hot chocolate to warm us up.

It was such a lovely way to spend our final Thanksgiving in the US that we've already agreed to come back again in a couple of years time.
