quack quack quack

Monday was a great day...

we did the Freedom Trail

and the Duck Tours.

It was so much fun and the only thing that I can say was missing would have been if Ashleigh an Morgan were with us....yes Morgan, I know you have done this but I still think it would have been fun to have you along.

The day started with Barry, Bubbie and I took the subway in to The Commons and then Sam went back to bed for a while but she caught up with us later.

But we Walked the Walk and saw the sights of history. And as always when we go to somewhere that there are old houses it rains....

It wasn't to bad just very muggy ohhh so muggy...

We saw a lot of cemeteries including the one that Paul Rever was buried and the monument to burial place

we were also able to see where he lived and raised his families... yes he had a two wives and 16 kids... and I thought 5 was a handful.

Barry even went head to head with a donkey at the "Old" State House.



It was such a great day but it wasn't over yet.... we went quacking on a Duck Tour. Now these have been seen on many different Travel Channel episodes but all I can say is you have to do it. As we were walking around Boston we kept seeing these ducks... traveling the streets and the Charles River for that fact. We were about to go on it... no Sam didn't get to ride a pink one but she did get to ride a violet one

We saw so many different parts of Boston from the street and from the river.... some of what we saw was government in action.... like the 4 million dollar Charles River Skatepark that is years behind schedule.... and that is all part of the BIG DIG... yes Morgan we did see the Dig from many different angles.

And then there were the real importiant parts of Boston.... like the first Starbucks.

these pictures are for you Morgan
