When in Boston

I don't really know what one should do when they're in Boston because we were there with a toddler and a senior.  The senior wasn't able to walk much and the toddler fell into a puddle about 15 minutes after we got out of the car.

We had fun walking around a five block radius and being touristy.

Lucas rode on the carousel for the first time.  Everyone there seemed to speak a different language -- tourist central.

I had to try the Boston Chowda though being a Mo's fan, I was skeptical.  It was a little less creamy than Mo's but I really enjoyed it. 

A hawk caught a pigeon and landed down to eat it right in the middle of a very busy shopping area.  People started gathering around to watch it and it wasn't even afraid -- a city bird, I guess.  He ate everything, only feathers were left about an hour later.  

It was really cold.  Lucas insisted on wearing his rain boots (with two pairs of wool socks).  It was quite a fashion statement.  

Lucas and Maria made some "Souvenir Pennies" -- Lame if you ask me.

Lucas liked hanging out by the harbor but I was nervous that he was going to fall in the water.

My mom says that when Zach comes out here with us, she will watch the kids so we can spend all day exploring the city.  I'm looking forward to that day sometime in the near future.  For now, I think I can claim that I have been to Boston!
