In Boston Common just after exiting the T station near our hotel. We took the train from the airport - very fast and easy, not to mention that I love pretending like I'm hip and urban

Our hotel, the Nine Zero. Our first time here, though we've stayed at Kimpton properties in other cities - love their boutique hotels

We received a complimentary upgrade to a suite - hooray! There was a separate bedroom and a large bathroom behind me (i.e., not in the picture)

We set out to pick up Robert's bib number and race packet at the Marathon Expo

The expo was so crowded I couldn't even stand still long enough to get a decent picture!

We stopped afterward for lunch at Wagamama, a noodle bar that is a favorite spot of ours in London - their only outlets in the US are in Boston. It was good, though not quite the same as being in London - no surprise there!

Later in the afternoon we rode the T out to Boston College to see a cousin of mine from Atlanta who is a freshman there

Barron gave us an insiders tour of BC - what a fabulous campus

Afterward we met Barron's girlfriend and walked with them to the charming town of Newton Center where we enjoyed a great dinner at a local restaurant

Coming up next: a Red Sox game, Italian food in the North End, Race Day and the Freedom Trail...

Looks like fun! How nice that you were able to visit your cousin. :)
We loved Wagamama in London, too. Wish there were more of them here in the US ---but the ambiance would not be the same!
I lived near Boston College during the years I lived in Boston after college...I was in Cleveland Circle where a lot of BC students rent apartments. Great area if you are young.
Sounds like a great time!
