A few months ago we found out Nate had type 1 diabetes....yuck. But fortunately we were accepted to the Joslin Clinic in boston and we were able to help him get a handle on his diabetes! It was such a great experience to be out there learning all that we could about how we can help him and his diaetes.
While we were there we had the opportunity to go out for a couple hours at night to see some of the sights! Here I am at quincy market showing all of the restaurants inside! YUMMY!
Here is an outside shot so you know where I am! I LOVE BOSTON! (but not ANY of their sports teams....sorry patience and chris!)
Here nate is in front of the plaque that says we are at Faneuil Hall....since we didn't get out until after 7:00 it was too dark to take any good shots of the buildings, so this will have to do!
If any of you haven't seen Waking Ned Divine you have to go and rent it! Nate and I LOVE that movie and so when we saw this bar we had to take a picture of it! Go out and rent it! Its an irish movie and we LOVE it! :)
Here we are in Harvard Yard! Again since it was dark the only way we could prove that we were there is grab some clothing that said harvard on it and take a picture! But the campus was gorgeous!
Here we are at our favorite restaurant that we found when we lived in London.....WAGAMAMA'S! It is so good! If you have one close by....try it! We love it! Especially the dish that nate is eating which is the yaki soba! YUMMY!
Then last but not least, here is a picture of us and the other participants in the clinic. Some of them are nurses and doctors, but the rest were there learning right beside us! It was such a great time and we made some good friends out there!

Man, that is awful that Nate has diabetes! It is definitely a lot to learn. When Scott and I got married I felt very overwhelmed and wanted to do my best to know everything about the diabetes AND celiacs disease. It gets better though and hopefully you guys are doing good. Is he doing shots or does he us a pump?
only you guys would make a vacation out of diabetes class! Just remember if we all ate like diabetics we would all be a lot healthier! :)
I AM SO JEALOUS!! I miss Boston so much! I'm glad you had a good time! I hope you saw some great foliage!
Apparently Boston is the first US location! You guys really lucked out finding a Wagamamas there! So cool!
Is this your first time in Beantown with the Beanie Boy? Fitting that the clinic is in his city of origin- I hope you learned a lot. Looks like you had a great time and that is the most important part.
Glad you could turn some serious business into serious fun! :) Of course, you two always do!
