Hello again Boston.

Our travels in the Far East began in Boston, which is a very good place to start.

First stop, Copley Square for a little Burdik’s chocolate pick-me-up. (Note the lovely Aunt A in the mirror taking our picture. It was so nice spending the day with Aunt A and giggling Uncle R!!, thanks for hosting us for the night!)

Next stop, the Public Gardens.

No visit to the Public Gardens as a tourist is complete without a cliche family picture on the bridge.

We braved the heat and the long line to ride the Swan Boat. Also completely cliche.

It was nice seeing the ducky statues again.

image

We went across town to the aquarium to see the Giant Sea Turtle…

… and the adorable penguins.

Thanks for a wonderful day, Boston! I’m sure we will be back again soon!

That was a very good day in a very fun city.

 

Make way for Rowan.

There is this book called “Make way for Ducklings” that my dad reads to me. It is about ducklings named Lack, Mack, Nack, Ouack, Pack, and Quack. They were born by the Charles river then move to the Public Gardens and live on the island in the pond.

This is such an iconic Boston story, and there is a famous statue of Momma Duck and her ducklings in the Public Gardens.

My duckling name would be Rack.

I am their little duckling.

We were “those” people who stop by this statue to take “that picture.”
Mom loved it.

Beautiful day in the Public Gardens.
