W.W.O.O.T!

So, WTH is "WWOOT," right?
   WWOOT is our family's Wonderful Week of Obnoxious Togetherness, in other words, our Stay-cation. (I had told Ma we needed a better name, and i have to say : her creativeness did not go wasted.

Sunday, May 22: WWOOT DAY 1
   We went on a chocolate tour around Newbury Street in Boston! It was sooo yummy! And, we stopped at places like Georgetown Cupcake and Teuscher Chocolates. Our first stop delivered with two free cupcakes from Georgetown Cupcakes, a double chocolate and a chocolate-dipped strawberry one. Teuscher Chocolates let us try their famous champagne truffles filled with a champagne cream and a chocolate ganache and covered in milk chocolate. Rich and creamy, those Swiss sure do make a mean chocolate! I also found out a fun fact that Swiss people eat an average of 26 pounds of chocolate each year. That's more than twice as much as our fat American intake of only 11 pounds. 
   For dinner that night, we ate at the famous Abe & Louie's on Boyleston. Of course, everything was to-die for - maybe even the bill! From the buttery and surprisingly sweet rolls to the peach crisp for dessert, it was all more delicious than i could have imagined! We had:
