a must-stop is Fanieul Hall in downtown boston.
where my grandpy has to talk to efurryone
and tell them he's from Milwaukee.
(ok, old man!)

mmmm. just my size!

 oh oh the best part.. yeah they head ovah to 

the NorthEnd (historic italian neighborhood) for

the Fisherman's Feast Festival.

we're talking sausage, riceballs, pizza, calmari, and CANOLIS!
who doesn't luv dancing with a CHEEZ STICK!

 no.. they kept walking past all those droolie foodies 

to go to THE oldest pizzeria in boston..

Regina Pizzeria! and dine with Leonardo Di Caprio!

 after stuffing their faces, time to enjoy some of the festivities..

lookie Maggie & Mitch-- a watermelon-eating contest! 

woo would have crushed the competition!

the 90 yr old italian festival tradition is to parade the

 Madonna del Soccorso down the streets

and everyone places strips of cash money on her. 

(maybe i'll change my name to madonna-hehehe)

a walk back to Quincy Market...

for a little more street-dancing, living statues who grrr

when woo take their pic & don't tip, and one

last wave to Sam Adams!

 my grammy did bring back these boxes of canolis from Mike's Pastry

and what was left of the pizza pie.

 thinkin'.. fur me??

(as a mattah of fact, those boxes went straight 2 Nordude's frig!)

a must stop is boston's northend, the oldest neighborhood in boston with it's rich history & italian influence. history schmistory.. i know what they're most interested ... as pour moi, i decided the 90 degree sweat drenching day was best spent in the comforts of cool AC home...

see 4 yaself.

that's me! found my cozy spot for the day.

the rest of the group headed to the streets of the NorthEnd ...
with only one thing on their minds.

ze Pizza pie! not any pizzah.. nope this won't do

oops got a little sidetracked..

ahhhh. there it is! Pizza Regina- the best brick oven pizzah in boston.
G & g couldn't wait to get in line- which is suppose to be part of the fun!

30 minutes latah & 5 lbs lighter ...
at last, a table in the restaurant has opened.

Aunt Bee & grandpappy are all smiles now.
time to nom nom nom.. save me a slice pulleaz!

no leftovah boxes needed at this table. nom nom nom... chugalug.

after they stuffied themselves, guess what they saw..
a bunch of doggies coming out of the building across the street.

of course they had to check out the place- called the DOGFATHER.

The counter had jars & jars of doggie yummers.
Oooo get one of those, two of them,
& just get me the whole jar!

these doggies were full of themselfs..
a bunch of posers!

and beggars.
aunt bee's not going to fall for that?!

well.. she did manage to leave the store with some yummers for me & Norwood.

alright, next mission...

a bakery deal in progress.. first, money exchanges hands

go straight to the dealah

be discreet.. done deal!

at the end of the day, the hoomans didn't bring me back one pepperoni or one sausage.
not a crumb from a cannoli.

Nada. nothing!

BOO!

no, but thanks aunt bee.
she's the only one who remembahd me.

maybe i'll move in with her & norwood.
