Boston

We had so much fun with Cole's family while they were in town. Here we are at Faneuil Hall.The boys were loving sitting on the ducks from "Make Way For Ducklings" in the Commons

Here we all are on the duck tour.
It was fun to do a Duck Tour and see so many fun sites. It took us by my favorite bridge in Boston. It is actually one of the widest cable-stayed bridges in the world. Here is a better picture of it. It is quite impressive.The USS Constitution, "Old Ironsides", is the oldest commissioned warship afloat in the world. It was first launched in 1797 and was one of six ships ordered for construction be George Washington.
The boys loved driving the duck boat.
In honor of Memorial Day, nearly 20,000 flags are placed in Boston Common through the weekend to commemorate each Massachusetts soldier lost in World War I.Harvard Yard
