Today, our family (minus Dad) headed to Harvard. We had Starbucks for breakfast, again, and then went to Harvard square. There were many shops, including CVS, Cabot’s Candy, SWEET, and J.P. Licks, all of which we visited. We walked around and got Harvard apparel from the Coop Harvard Bookstore. It is worth noting, that it took us some time to find our Harvard shirts. There were 3 or 4 Harvard Bookstores, and it took us some time to find the one that was dedicated to Harvard apparel. After that, we got delicious cupcakes from the Sweet bakery, and took a moment to devour those. Our mother was in the mood to indulge in our ‘needs’, so a short while later, after some more walking, we stopped at J.P. Licks to get what was voted the ‘best homemade ice cream in Boston’. I got a small mint chip ice cream, and I loved it.
By the way, they are not skimpy with their sizes, so it is worth the money. After that, we went to Cabot’s Candy store
which was a few shops down, to get sugary souvenirs for our friends back in California. We walked some more around Harvard square, but then we got tired so we went back to the hotel. After relaxing a little bit, we picked up dad after his conference and we all went to dinner with our friend Katie. We went to dinner at a restaurant called Fiore in the North End. I got some tasty ravioli. The food was good, as well as the service, so it was an enjoyable dinner. After dinner, we walked around some, and we went back to our hotel.
