Boston Day 1

(I am finally get around to posting from our trip to Boston)

John and I decided to take the kids to Boston. John had to go for work. The kids were going to miss 2 days of school, but we figured it was worth it to see the North Church, Paul Reverse house, and other sites important to American history.

We got in late afternoon Saturday. Then tried to transverse the T (underground), we ended up getting lost and taking a cab the rest of the way to the hotel.

After settling into our hotel, we were only staying for one night before moving to the one hosting John's conference, we headed out to explore.

View of the swan boat in Boston public gardens.
Make Way For Duckling is a famous children's book about Boston Public Gardens. In the park is a series of statues of the ducklings.
Petting the duck
Walk like a duck...he can still be silly sometimes.
After walking through the gardens, we ate at Cheers. Unfortunately they did not know any of our names.
Brunswick stew and the real set for Cheers.
Maybe, they know his name.
After dinner we crossed over to the other side of the road to the Boston Commons. Here is a frog protecting the children's playground.

We found more frogs over by the pond.
Clay was imitating the serious look of the frog, here at Frog Pond.
Other statues we saw around the park

After we were done we walked to Faneuil Hall marketplace.
