T Stands for Treats in Boston

     Hi everyone. Happy new week to you.  And hello to everyone who stops by Bleubeard's and Elizabeth's blog  blog for T day too.

     What's new with me? Last week was a very busy one. I started the week on the last day of May (Sunday the 31st)  with a touristy trip into Boston with my husband, daughter and son-in-law. Then I spent some time in court, which if you haven't read my post from last Saturday, was because I had been selected for jury duty (That post can be found here:  It's the Weekend).

    Today I'm sharing some more photos from my trip into Boston. I also shared some photos (It's the Weekend and Boston Colonial Architecture) over this past weekend if you're curious.   Today's photos work for T day. And just a warning 😉, there's a lot of food that may make you hungry. 

    Here's a little background for those of you who didn't read my last couple of posts.

    Last Sunday was Free Ferry Day out to one of the islands in Boston Harbor. The ferry went to Georges Island, where there is a Civil War Fort. This island is operated by both the National Park Service and also the State Parks of Massachusetts. 

   My daughter doesn't work for the State Parks of Massachusetts but her department is within that group, so she had gotten an email about the free ferry day. There were 2 ferries that day, one at 10 AM and one at noon.  We hoped to catch the 10 AM ferry, and my daughter said she and her husband would get there at 8 AM when the ticket booth opened to get the tickets (since they could get 5 tickets a person). However, when my daughter arrived, the 10 AM ferry tickets were already gone, so she grabbed tickets for the noontime ferry.

    Since the ferry dock at Long Wharf isn't far from the North End of Boston and since we had a couple of hours to kill, we headed over to walk a bit of Boston's Freedom Trail. But besides some spots on the Freedom Trail, the North End is also known for some fantastic Italian restaurants and bakeries. Before we went in search of history, and since it was still before 9 in the morning, we decided to stop for a little breakfast treat.

    This second bakery was cannoli heaven. You can see all the flavors they had in the next photos. If you don't what a cannoli is, you can read about them Wikipedia: Cannoli. I bet CJ could tell you about  cannolis too. 

    When we stopped for a morning treat,  I had a small cup of chai latte tea as well as a slice of orange bread. The orange bread was just enough for my morning sweet tooth.   😊

     But I can't go into an Italian bakery and not get a cannoli, even at 9 in the morning. I bought one  to go. As you can see in the photos above, it was hard to decide which flavor to get. 😉 However, I forgot to photograph my cannoli. I went with a traditional plain one, mainly because I was going to eat it with my bag lunch later in the day, once we were on the island and were visiting the fort.

   I hope I didn't make you hungry. It made me hungry just writing this post. (And I know Iris will most likely tell me these all look too sweet. 👍)

   Wishing you a happy T day and week ahead.
