Boston (part 3)

 
Just a cool building we saw, very ornate and old. The unicorn is Boston's Athletic Association's symbol. It was chosen in 1887, because in mythology a unicorn stands for an ideal, something to pursue, that can never be caught.
 
 
China Town
 
 
I love going to different China Town's. They have the coolest things.
 
 
 
 
 
Saw this and loved it. Ryan does not like the Yankees. It was so funny.
 
 
There were some yummy looking desserts in China Town.
 
 
One by sea, two by land...
 
 
This was very cool to go inside.
 
 
 
Just a little thing they had telling about the North Church
 
 
Would be kind of nice to have our own reserved pew in church. But then people would notice when you weren't there...
 
 
Paul Revere on his ride with the North Church behind him. (thought this looked cool)

Boston (U.S.S. Constitution and more)

 
On the ferry with Boston Harbor behind us.
 
Ron and Susan on the ferry.
 
 
 
Another pic of the Harbor.
 
 
WWII destroyer Casin Young.
 
 
It was awesome!
 
 
Ryan thought it was so cool.
 
 
 
 
 
RADAR. This is what my grandpa did in WWII for the Army.
 
 
Another shot from the back of Casin Young.
 








The Torpedoes were HUGE!
 
 
U.S.S. Constitution was AMAZING!
 
 
I got a lot of shots of it, but here are just a few.
 
 
 
 

 
How amazing to see two ships that are part of American History.  
 
 


Boston (post 1)

 
The morning we left to Boston. (poor Brooklynn was sick. I hated leaving her.)

 
McKenna with her sign for Daddy. It was early and he was too tired and grouchy to take a picture.

 
On the runway and it started pouring rain and there was a lot of wind. It postponed our flight about 45 minutes.

 
Finally got up in the air, but we missed our connecting flight.

 
Ron and Susan were able to get another flight to Boston, but Ryan and I took a little detour. We headed down to Georgia. (Okay a big detour) We finally made it to Boston about 12:30 am the next morning. Not a good time to arrive in the middle of a city. I am so sheltered living in Utah. There was crazy stuff we saw.

 
The next day we did a bus tour around the city. It was so fun. We got out on a lot of different stops and went site seeing.

 
Boston Harbor is beautiful.

 
LOVE!

 
 

 
So cool. Love all the architecture.

 
Off of the Harbor there was an Aquarium although we didn't go inside. They have this little area outside that you could see the Otters.
 

 
They were so cute! Look at that face.

 
 


 
This is the artwork of some of the Sea Otters.

 
Amazing.

 
So cool!
 
 
We rode a ferry and here is another shot of Boston Harbor.
