We went to Boston

Today Mike, Lily, Patty, Brent, Nina and her boyfriend DJ and myself all went to Boston, Mass.Our first stop was by the Boston Temple. Brent wanted to show us the temple he goes to. It looked very colonial and elegant. Not very big but has a huge importance. Then he headed to the city. Here are a few sights we seen. Patty was again very informed on a lot of the history but since we were trying to cram a whole city into one day we took a tour bus. Here I am with my daily caffeine fix.


I'm not sure what this building was but at the time we took this photo it seemed really important.Next here is the capital building roof made of 24k gold. That seemed really cool that Boston has style.

Then this church is one of the oldest in the country. I forgot a lot what the tour guide said since the roads are made of half brick and half cement.As we sat in the bus it would hit huge bumps in the road and had us flying in our seats. I couldn't help but laugh since Lily was trying to sleep and every few seconds she kept getting woken up cuz we would be jumping out of our seats cuz the bus hit a pot hole. But today was to first day of the Harbor cruise season so Mike and I decided to get off our bumpy bus and take a boat ride across Boston Harbor.


Here's our first kiss in Boston.Here is Lily and me waiting for the boat to move.She only liked the first little bit of the ride.When the water would hit the boat and cause it to rock back and forth she would get so mad cuz it would cause her to to detach from her bottle. So we got off at the next stop. But here's a picture of Boston from the waterfront.We got off at the shipyard where the USS Constitution was docked. Here's Mike trying to move a 1,000 lbs weight. He really thought he could move it just a small inch but no dice. Then we got back on the trolley since everyone else was ahead of us at Quincy Market.This place was just crazy. Music, Food vendors, shops and stores everywhere. This is the one stop tourist shopping center. Here's a circle of break dancers just entertaining the crowd. Mike loved it.

Now the show is over and we're waiting for the bumpy dangerous trolley bus to pick us up to take us back to our starting point so we can get back to CT. Here's Patty, Nina and her boyfriend DJ.But after our fun filled day Mike and I's favorite thing of Boston was the City Toilet. I know but let me explain....it's a circular building sits on a corner of a street and you pay 25 cents and then the doors open allowing you 30 minutes to do your business. We had to try it. So we paid to pee. After you're done it disinfects and sanitizes itself. This was way awesome.Here's Lily fast asleep with a duck blanket we got her in Boston. I loved this sign so take the advice.
