Friday Five

I've been in vacation mode since about 3 weeks ago.  Now that it's finally here, I'm pretty darn excited.  So much to see, So much to do and most importantly So much to eat!  In honor of vacay, these are the top 5 things I'm most excited about : )

1. Whale Watching: I'm so super excited about seeing whales.  My luck, they'll be somewhere else swimming around and no where near my whale watching boat - just like the sea lions were when I was in San Francisco.  But I'm hoping to get lucky and catch a glimpse.  Whales are huge and so magestic.  I just can't wait to see at least one!

2. Sfogliatelli in the North End: If you don't know, sfogliatelli is an Italian pastry, made from dozens of layers of puffed pastry and filled with a ricotta and citrus cream.  In a word, they're delicious!  They're currently my new obsession.  And I've heard the best ones are at Mike's Pastry in the North End. I plan on eating my weight in the things.  

3. Salem: I'm not into the haunting stuff and I'm not even into witches and things, but I'm super excited to get to see Salem.  All I know about it, is that Hocus Pocus (probably the movie I've seen the most times since I was about 10) was filmed there.  Oh and of course all the witch trials stuff, obviously.  That history is pretty terrifying but I hear the town itself is beautiful.

4.  Ferry Rides!  I love boat rides!  Having to take a ferry to Salem, and Nantucket should be a blast.  Add that onto the boat for the whale watching cruise, and it's going to be a super water filled trip.

5. Nantucket: I've had a soft spot in my heart for Nantucket since Wings.  We're only spending a day there, but I plan to make the most of it.  

New England here I come!
