The Freedom Trail

Monday was suppose to be a stormy day so we planned on going to the aquarium. We walked through Boston Common on the way there and it started raining. By the time we got to the aquarium it was bright and sunny so we decided to walk on the Freedom Trail first. Here's a picture of me in front of the duck pond in Boston Commons. It was neat to see this area because it is where the book "Make Way for Ducklings" takes place.

Part of the Freedom Trail was seeing the ships in Boston Harbor. We got to go aboard one of the ships and we saw "Old Ironsides" too. Here's a picture of Michael on the ship . . .

This is a picture of us in front of the statue of Paul Revere . . .

After we finished we grabbed some lunch at Quizno's and then headed to the aquarium. They have a neat jelly fish exhibit that we went to first. We spent the majority of our time watching the penguins. It was fun watching them swim underwater and chase the shadows the people were making in the water! It reminded us of our cat Zoe chasing the sunlight when we open the front door! Michael loved watching the sharks swimming in the big aquarium. I tried to take his picture next to the shark as it swam by but it didn't turn out very well. We went outside to watch the seals. They look like they are having so much fun! We walked to the top of the big aquarium and listened to a question and answer session about all of the animals in the tank. There was a huge sea turtle and a cobia swimming at the top as well as a big eel! The eels freak me out!!! After the aquarium we went to dinner at Regina Pizzeria. It is a local pizza joint that opened in 1926. The pizza was awesome!
