We've had some goings on recently. Last week, I came back from spring break. Unlike last year, I did not go to Europe. Though I was at home, I did have some great times.
On the first night back, my parents took me to a great sushi place in town. Though we have some good sushi at school, there's nothing like getting it fresh from one of the best places around. The next day, my parents threw me a little family birthday party. I don't turn 21 until March 24th, so I guess you could call it my 20 days til' 21 party! My aunts and uncles came over and we celebrated with some pizza and an awesome birthday cake: a banana split blizzard cake from Dairy Queen! It was as delicious as it sounded. We have eight family members whose birthday is in March, including my dad's on March 4th, so we celebrated theirs too.
On Wednesday, Brian and I took a little pilgrimage down to New York City for the Big East Tournament. I arose early from my vacation slumber and drove about an hour and a half to Stamford, CT to catch the Metro-North train to Grand Central. I met Brian down at Madison Square Garden and we enjoyed two games: Georgetown vs. South Florida and Marquette vs. St. John's. They were pretty good games and the place wasn't packed so we were able to sneak down. For dinner, we met up with Conor and went to a Scottish pub a few blocks away. Once I got back to Stamford, it was still a long ride back. It turned out to be a pretty late night overall.
Last week, I made it back to The Hill and was immediately swamped with work. Last weekend however, my parents came up and took me out for dinner. We went to my favorite restaurant, The Village Smokehouse in Brookline. They have been voted the best ribs in Boston. So, of course, I had to get my favorite meal there: Texas-sized pork ribs with some sweet potato fries. I finished every last one!
We then took a walk up Harvard Street in Brookline before stopping at J.P. Licks. It's a really good ice cream place. During the summer months, they have cucumber ice cream. It may sound weird, but it's delicious! We made a pit stop on the way home for some tea at Barnes and Noble.
Most of my friends were out for the night, so I hung around with my parents a little more. They had brought up some baby photos and my baby book to reminisce. In the baby book there was a page full of my "favorites" when I was young (Favorite toys, favorite songs, and the like).
And I quote: "Favorite food - all"
Some things don't change...
