Last Weekend and our day trip to Boston

We were lucky enough to go to the Aquarium and see them feeding the otters and brushing their teeth. The girls loved it!


A replica of one of the Boston Tea Party ships. Oddly enough, named the Eleanor.

One of the Bostonians who helped in the re-enactment of the Boston Massacre, oh, and one of Aftyn's good friends, Daxton.

The British soldiers

Yup, those are "dead" guys on the ground. 3 were killed in this square and 2 later died of their injuries. History re-enacted in the same place it really happened. Cool!
         We had a fun little day trip last weekend to Boston. There was going to be a re-enactment of the Boston Massacre and one of our friends called and invited us to meet up with them in Boston. So we did! We ended up just missing the kids version of the re-enactment but we got to see a few of the shows they do on the streets down in Boston and then walked a whole lot. We walked to the Aquarium, past the ships in the harbor that were part of the Boston Tea Party Museum, and had some yummy dinner at South Market. We saw the official re-enactment which was so neat,the actors really get into character!  We had a few grumpy people who wanted to take up some of the space my friend and I reserved for our husbands while they were gone getting us some Mike's Pastry's. Oh well. We all survived and had a fun and memorable night. We didn't even freeze too badly! What a fun night to remember.
