Happy Labor Day! How wonderful does it feel to have the day off? I know it’s much appreciated over in this neck of the woods. Last night we went to a friend’s Labor Day party in Beacon Hill. It was on her roof deck and the night could not have been more perfect. We could see Back Bay and downtown and even Cambridge too. I just couldn’t stop thinking how amazing it all was, to get a view like this on such a beautiful night in late summer.
Wow, I just kept thinking. This is lucky.
Zan and I ventured in from “The ‘burbs” as Amy called it (we’re not really in the ‘burbs, just a hop and skip out of Cambridge in Arlington), and it was the first time I was taking the train into Boston from “over the river”. I have to admit- it felt a little funny. For those of you who aren’t from Boston, there’s a difference between living in Boston vs. Cambridge (think- Harvard) and that difference is a very clear landmark known as the Charles River.
Up until last week I always lived on the Boston side of the river and I LOVED it. But life brought me “over the river” and I have to admit I like it here too. The red line from Cambridge is suuuuper fast, and it took us about equal time to get into Boston from Arlington as it used to take me from Brookline. It was a pleasant surprise and is proof that I do not live in the suburbs. Arlington rocks.
What are you up to this Labor Day? I’m going to be doing a little more unpacking (it’s never ending!) and might even venture into Harvard Square to walk around for the afternoon. The weather is lovely here and I intend on soaking it all in before fall really takes over!
