56 - done!

56. go out to high tea

so, i hadn't even remembered that this was on my 101 in 1001 list until i looked at the list for my last post and realized hey! i did that this summer!

and, the best part? i got to go with this lovely lady.

yep. that's right. i had three amazing females as house guests this summer! it was quite busy and hectic and full, but i loved it. first mom, then m, then bear. she was here the longest, which was great, because i hadn't seen her in a while. boston was her stopping point prior to heading across the pond to lille.

anyway, back to high tea. we went to high tea at upstairs on the square, which is, surprisingly, smack in the middle of harvard square. it is apparently a great restaurant, but this was the first time i had been there (j has had several snooty hah-vahd soirees there), and i loved it! the tea room is very pink and a fun mix of modern and old-fashioned. and the tea service was pretty good!

lots of yummy sweets, and some really good sandwiches. i think my favorite food was the bacon-wrapped date - it was amazing. i had the rose tea, my absolute favorite, and they bring you refills, which is nice.

all in all, a really great high tea experience. it made me think of all the times we used to go to the empress in victoria for high tea. mmm. i love tea.

and i love this little sister.


oh, and sorry for the terrible quality of the pictures - pulled c's pictures from facebook, and mine are just with my p & s. except the last one.

.cheers.
