Saturday=Tourists
Saturday, we were the ultimate tourists. We went on one of THESE and had such a blast! We highly recommend the Duck Tour! You get to see so many landmarks and learn some interesting stuff that you wouldn't otherwise get to learn. Like, we saw a bar that they used in the shooting of the Departed and we saw the Real World Boston's house (remember...the firehouse!) and we would have never known those things were there had our conDUCKtor not told us!
Here's a pic of Lisa, Josh and I before the tour started
Yep, that's me. I got to drive the boat...along with like three kids. Hey, what can I say?! I wanted to experience it full force!
Here's a pic as we are entering into the water. How cool...basically a bus that floats!
Old Iron Sides (not the old ladies standing there, hehe)
Then, after a tasty lunch at THIS place (talk about getting a little tipsy on some Raspberry margaritas!), we hit Cheers. I think it is a requirement if you visit Boston that you visit Cheers. We walked through really quick, and no, it doesn't look like the bar. But it was cool, nonetheless.
Where everybody knows your name...duh duh duh da dum duh
Here's a pic of the Granary Burial Grounds where lots of famous people are buried...Sam Adams, Paul Revere, John Hancock...and I think possibly maybe even Mother Goose! If it's not this one that she's in, then it's another one that we passed in Boston.
We also walked around the Boston Common which is kind of like a mini-Central Park. It was gorgeous. And there was also a place called the Gardens (I believe) and we got to see lots of statues (even some of these cute little ducklings from a children's book that I meant to try to find) but we didn't take any pics with our camera that turned out very well. So you'll just have to imagine that part of the day...
Truly, we were like touristy machines this day. It is such a historic and amazing city. You could literally always find something to do. We cannot wait to go back and get to do more!!! And Patty, we definitely got our hot nuts! :) We all got a giggle outta that one.
