I Suck At Memorial Day

Monday was Memorial Day. Happy Memorial Day! Too bad I suck at Memorial Day.

With the holiday, Karen and I decided to have a little family outing with Briana. Our destination: the Hingham Shipyard. Neither of us have ever been to the Hingham Shipyard since construction began. So, we decided to give the place a try to see what is there.

I must say, the place looks great. To me, the Hingham Shipyard is what Marina Bay in Quincy was trying to be. Although in Marina Bay's defense, there is less land at its location in comparison to the Hingham Shipyard.

The Hingham Shipyard did look really nice. Karen and I (and Briana) walked around as much as we could around the place. We went through some of the housing communities. I would be curious, however, to see the inside of the condos and apartments to see if it is worth it. We went to the Fresh Market, which is like a smaller version of Whole Foods. We walked around Alma Nove, which is the restaurant owned by one of the Wahlberg brothers. (Incidentally, I was supposed to work on that restaurant's website, but I'm not so sure now with the place opening very soon.) And we walked by the water. All in all, the Hingham Shipyard is very nicely done.

I tried to convince Karen to get a yacht... only because I would love to own one, which is peculiar I know because I don't swim. I just think a yacht would be fun. It looks fun on television. I don't think Karen was too keen on the idea especially since we'd have no place to dock it. Maybe we can convince my friend's (Hot Amy) parents to let us keep it there. Oh well. Someday...
