When we arrived, I was sure glad I made a res as the place was packed. We were seated immediately and got drinks. Since I've been obsessed with white wine sangrias lately, I got a berry one. It was pretty good.
I wanted to order the New England Lobster Feast for two (2 lb. steamed lobster served with clam chowder, mussels, steamers, corn on the cob, and new potatoes), but Adam reigned me in a bit as it didn't sound that great to him.
No matter. I got my OWN lobster instead. I ordered the 1 1/4 lb, which was the perfect size for me! Instead of apps, we both ordered the New England Clam Chowder, which was wonderful! I'm going to need to look up some recipes and make some. YUM.
Our food came pretty quickly, and it was fabulous. Truly delicious. I've only ever had lobster tail before, which I wasn't overly impressed with, so getting the whole lobster was a little overwhelming. Luckily for me, they cut it up a bit so it wasn't quite as daunting. It was just so flavorful and amazing, especially the tail. I finally understand what the fuss is all about!
Adam ordered the San Francisco Cioppino (with lobster, shrimp, clams, fish, scallops and
mussels simmered in a spicy saffron shellfish broth) so he was in on the lobster action too.
Since it was a little messy, we both got awesome bibs to wear. Ha.
We had a really fun time and great experience at Atlantic Fish Company! The prices were in line for a nice seafood restaurant, and as far as I know, it's not a chain (I'm kind of anti-chain except for Chipotle). I would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Boston!! It was a great way to wrap up our trip.
After dinner, we took the T back to the hotel where we packed up and relaxed.
Our flight Monday was at 11:50. We got up, finished packing, and headed down to breakfast. Once again, I had a yummy made to order blueberry pancake and Adam had an omelet. We checked out, and then walked down to the BRT station where we took the Silver Line to the airport. It was about 10:30 by the time we got to the airport, which made us a bit nervous.
Lucky for us our terminal was pretty empty. When we checked in, we got asked if we'd be interested in sitting in the Emergency Exit. Extra leg room? Yes please!
At security, I had my first experience with the body scanner which was somewhat traumatizing. Especially since I had a hair tie in my pocked that showed up and resulted in me getting a pat down. Lovely.
Right before boarding it was announced that there was a maintenance problem, so our flight kept getting delayed. Fortunately, it was a false alarm and we were only an hour delayed. Though if we had been making a connecting flight that hour may have screwed us up! Luckily it was on the return flight so we didn't really care.
We got back to MSP around 3:30 instead of 2, and were picked up by Adam's dad. Then we were reunited with Chester! It was a short trip, but we sure missed the little guy. He was in good hands with Grandma & Grandpa L though! He even had an adventure going up to the cabin! I'm kind of jealous since we haven't been up there yet and he has twice! We plan to fix that this weekend though!
So, in conclusion, Boston was a good time. As Adam said in an e-mail to me the next day, "I like going on adventures together!"
