On a recent trip back from the east coast to sunny southern California we had a five hour lay over at Boston Logan Airport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What in the world to do?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, last time I had a few hours to kill at Logan I really wanted to go to my favorite Pizza place in Boston, Santarpios<\/a>. That previous attempt was disastrous. Getting from the Airport to Santarpios by car was near impossible and we wound up in the North End with a car load of kids needing a bathroom and all the sudden no time left to even get pizza. It was very bad memory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was gonna erase that memory and create a new, improved memory, this time we were gonna WALK!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Got out the old iPhone 4 and realized that a mere 1.4 miles away lay a boisterous lunch for us all.<\/p>\n\n\n

Of course the fact that we had the largest infant car seat that money can buy<\/a> (also the safest) and nothing to put it in was a bit of a challenge. But then I remembered my amazing, new backpack<\/a> which is the number one pack used by police forces throughout the country, had these straps just waiting to be used.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

I got that thing on and away we went. It was a brisk but perfectly clear day in Boston and walking from terminal to terminal and then out past the nine foot tall checkpoint charlie-esque security wall was a joy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was an uneventful trip and when we got to within a block or so of the restaurant we stumbled onto East Boston Memorial Park<\/a> a beautiful, huge public park that we could take full advantage of after filling our bellies. We also spied with our own little eyes a free bus stop to take us right back to terminal B and on our way for a six and a half hour flight!<\/p>\n\n\n

We got there and all agreed that this is really a good pie, if it were not for the fact that we felt we had walked directly onto the shooting set of “The Town<\/a>” and that there was a guy butchering an entire rear end of a cow in the kitchen, it was near perfect.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

No, I am not peeing in the park<\/p>\n\n\n

No point to the post, I just had to say it was the best time in between flights I have ever had in my life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
