Revisiting Rowes Wharf

Posted on by Kellie Van

Hello! How’s everyone’s weekend so far? Today has been a very efficient day! Woke up at 6:30am ( I know…on a Sat?! it’s the new momma syndrome.) and tidied up the house. By 10am I was done decluttering our place, did a load of laundry, and headed into the city. ALL BY MYSELF. Told the husband that I needed some ‘me city time’ and had a peaceful and much needed time roaming the streets of downtown.

Later during the day, we went to Phatom Gourmet’s BBQ Beach Party (another posting later), and took Zoey to Rowes Wharf, the waterfront area where we departed on the Odyssey cruise ship out into the Boston harbor for our wedding reception.

It was great seeing the place again since it’s been a while. Weather was nice, warm and toasty as summer should be.

View from the outside.

I can’t remember if I ever wore a T-shirt dress before, but it was so perfect for a typical summer day. Super comfy + light. Also seen here, Zoey grabbing onto ‘her’ chewbeads.

I LOVE the rows of white tables and chairs lining the marina. To the back is the Boston Harbor Hotel, right is a restaurant, and left is view of Boston harbor where you’d see boats docking at the marina. Breathtaking views at night time!

A glimpse of the marina in the background.

View of the arch from the inside. The banner says ‘Summer in the City’, what a great declaration!

Sunnies from Oscar de la Renta. Gotta love ’em! LOVING the neon pink chewbeads! Here’s a previous post about chewbeads if you are unfamiliar w/ them.

And here we were! Three yrs ago (wow!) catching the Odyssey and heading out into the harbor for our reception.

If you are planning a trip to Boston, Rowes Wharf is a must see for that relaxation stroll, water view dining, and/or just plain old eye candy sightseeing.

‘Til next post, Kellie.

    OK, I LOVE this post because BOSTON is my fave city; I love New England in general. I spend many summers traveling up and down the coast from RI to NYC and it’s just amazing! Did you go to Newberry St.? Amazing shopping! http://www.newbury-st.com/

    thanks for stopping by dreamlovebelieve.com, Kellie!
