Thankfully, for you, we had our camera, so you can retake the tour along with me! If this doesn't make you want to visit Boston, I don't know what will!
Forgive me if I don't remember all the facts...you can find more information here.
Here we are, loading the boat. Our driver was Captain Mack. He was quite the character and had almost every cheesy joke in the book. He argued that MIT was the number one school in the nation, which we had to disagree with (naturally). But he did a great job and I was impressed at his longwinded-ness, it was great (I could never talk two hours straight)!!
Noah was very excited to ride on the Duck boat!
Boston's public gardens in the US (this is where we rode the swan boat in September). Perfect this time of year!
Touring the streets of Boston. It's almost hard to believe that people live in these houses, because they are so picturesque!
State capital building. It's hard to see the gold on the top, but it was so beautiful! Landscape and all.
After a little tour around parts of Boston, we headed into the Charles river.
At one point Captain Mack (on the right), let the kids drive the boat. I am pretty sure this was Noah's dream come true (you can see his little head in the seat)!
There were so many sailboats out on the river, it was a perfect windy day for it!
After about thirty minutes on the river we headed back on land to finish the tour. It was so fun to see the city as the sun started to set. I can't wait to revisit some of these places.
The six towers above are the New England Holocaust memorial. You can read more about it here.
So, there you have it friends. If you are ever in Boston let me know, and we can go see some of it together! Now we prepare for Sandy to arrive (see the weather report). Wish us luck!
And in true Duck Boat fashion I will leave you with this, "Quack, Quack!"
