Mom and Dad Allen drove by this week while on their tour of the US. It was great to see them for a bit. We had fun taking Mitzi around Boston and hanging out in Foxboro in the motorhome. We went to Coda (which was much louder than we remembered – funny how that happens when you bring your parents!) and got to share the awesomeness that is Amsterdam Cafe frozen yogurt.

Zinzinnati Oktoberfest
We celebrated Christmas with the Fiala’s a bit early this year. We had Christmas at Oktoberfest in Cincinnati. It was a great time with family and German beers and food and music. We made great memories and loved seeing Thadd‘s place in the city. We got to go to the Great American Ballpark and see the Red‘s play twice. We went on a steamboat ride too! We loved the weiner dog races, as well as the barrel and beer stein races. Jeannette also got to meet up with an old friend from MIT at the festival – it was the place to be! There was fun polka music and we would be remiss to not mention the great festival food again. We had LOTS of strudel, brats with sauerkraut, and cream puffs.
We have video of every wiener dog race heat – they were super cute and funny – but here is just one and also some of the barrel and stein races too.

RIPD Movie Set
RIPD is filming around Boston. They used the newsstand convenience store across the street from Jeannette’s work and turned it into an old VCR repair shop. They turned the storefront of Jeannette’s office building into an old pawn shop. It will be fun to see what it looks like in the movie.

Boston Public Gardens
Today we used the day to take a long walk around our city, running a couple of errands on the way, and then took a rest on the grass of the Boston Public Garden’s lake.
