It's been a fantasy of mine, ever since I've moved to Boston, to take a picnic basket down to the Charles River docks at the Esplanade & watch the sun set. Even though Nick & I  live right across the street from the water, last Summer got away from us & we never really took advantage of the fact that the Esplanade is a stone's throw away.

Now that our lives are a little more settled here -- we're taking the time to really make spontaneous trips happen around our neighborhood. So, tonight, Nick suggested we take that little basket, a bottle (or two) of wine & set up shop on a dock -- all in attempt to fulfill that deep-rooted sun setting fantasy of mine. I'm looking forward to the blissful calm, catch up conversation & our pre-fixed dinner menu: Grilled Salmon burgers with spicy aioli sauce, a side salad, boursin cheese, prosciutto wrapped mozzarella, grapes, carrots & pesto white bean hummus. 

I'm hoping to make picnic Thursday a weekly thing this Summer.
