Boston - what a great city! We woke up this morning, and seeing as we have the day off, no kids, no dog, and pretty much nothing holding us back, we took a day trip to Boston. Aquarium, Freedom Trail, Quincy Market. We started it off with a Festival - an eco-friendly, organic, green festival. Right up my alley! We saw cars run on corn, cabinets made from formaldehyde free, organic completely renewable wood, windmills, and a small vehicle which looked a lot like those clear hamster balls you put your hamster in and let him run around your living room. The car, however, actually got 100 mpg and was rumored to have climbed Mt. Washington. I find that very hard to believe, seeing you had to be about the size of a hamster to fit in it.
So we went to Quincy Market, which was great for people watching. We started on the Freedom Trail. Whoever was the absolute genius who thought of putting the red line thoughout the city to follow for the Freedom Trail is my personal hero! No getting lost, no missing turns - just follow the red brick line!
We enjoyed the aquarium and the IMAX was a welcome break to just sit down and not think for 45 minutes. We saw the 3D shark adventure, the next best thing to snorkeling without the embarrassing bathing suits and annoying seaweed in unmentionable places.
We finished the day with a nice dinner at Legal Seafood, and 1 1/2 hour subway/train ride home and dessert with Marina and Jon at Pastishe, and fancy schmancy dessert restaurant on Federal Hill. Good dessert, great company, and a fantastic end to a fantastic day.
