There was a game in Boston? I thought I was there for the Cannoli!

Over Halloween weekend I traveled to Boston to host an event for Young Alumni the night before the Clemson vs. Boston College game. While the game didn't turn out like we had hoped, I had a great weekend. Below is a recap with pictures from my weekend away.

Thursday night we went to dinner with a big group and had amazing food. I got pumpkin ravioli (it was heaven).


The first full day we met with the fundraisers at Boston College. I loved getting the chance to meet people at other schools who are doing the same thing I do and to see how they run the show up there. They showed us around their athletic facilities and drove us over to Harvard. Over at Harvard we toured the beautiful campus. I think I felt smarter just being there (just kidding)! The picture below is on Boston College's campus.


Friday night we hosted our event at the Black Rose near Quincy Market. It was a great Irish bar and we had the entire upstairs. We were so nervous that no one was going to show up and we ended up having around 350-400 people come through the doors throughout the entire night. The event was a huge success and it was great to be surrounded by so many Tiger fans so far away from home!

Saturday we attended the Clemson game and came away with a lose. It was a rough game to watch in the stands especially when it was FREEZING and the wind was blowing hard!

Saturday night Elizabeth, Kimberly and I went around Boston to do a little shopping, dinner and then a late night stop at Modern Pastries to try a cannoli. We heard about them the entire weekend and they did not dissappoint! I suggest Modern Pastries if you are even in Boston!
