kenjariIt's been a long and fun weekend, but now I'm very tired.
The weekend started extra early with a work outing on Friday afternoon: my department went for a tour of Fenway park, followed by drinks and snacks at Boston Beer Works. The tour was a lot of fun. I'd been on it before, but in February, when cold and snow kept us to the indoor portions of the park. This time we got to go out into the green monster seats and the bleachers. Unfortunately, we couldn't go onto the field because there was a 7 pm game. We did see Daisuke Matsuzaka doing an early warm-up in the outfield, though.
Then I headed up to the North End for dinner with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
zfarcher, his roommate, davidsmom1's son, and Other Kenjari. Yummy food and good conversation. They went on to the Red Sox game, and Other Kenjari and I headed home.
We headed home so that we could visit withmmeubiquitous, feir_fireb, and their two children. The kids were adorable, and it was wonderful to see them all. The Little Guy left his toy shark at our place - we will be mailing it back.
Yesterday was the first Quest game of the season, and it was a good one, with the added pleasure of delicious food. I quite liked the game design, which had us players repeatedly splitting into small groups to teleport to mysterious locations in search of a missing apprentice and some artifacts. The game ending was kind of unusual, in that the players decided to forgo the final battle presented to us because we determined that the fight was not only un-winnable, but un-survivable and we'd already accomplished our primary goals. After game end, we fought the battle just for fun and it turned out that our assessment was correct - we got our asses handed to us by the opposing force of vampires and wolves.
