Countdown to Deployment: One Month of Dates

As we prepare for Tyler's upcoming deployment, we made it a goal to have a real-life date every week for the month before he leaves. That means we aren't shy about taking friends and family up on their (very generous) offers to watch Jackson.

Date one turned out to be impromptu and super-last minute when Tyler's grandparents said we should "get lost" while Jackson napped one afternoon during our recent trip to the city. Without thinking twice, we grabbed shoes and jackets, and headed to the nearest pub. Waxy O'Connor's might not be the most romantic setting, but it was perfect for some one-on-one conversation and a few local beers.

Here's the only picture I took (and it's a shame, because you should have seen the fries smothered in onion gravy we chowed down on. Yum.)

Here are a few other gems from our five days in Boston.
