Boston 3rd Day

I was so excited for 3rd day because it was supposed to be the historical day!! And we know how I feel about the History and Boston is filled with it.  But we started the day with a breakfast with Tia's family! They were great and super funny.
This was in the restaurant and I sent it to Julianne because Buster Brown will always remind me of her.
We ran back to Fenway Stadium so that we could took a tour. 
I love the closeness.
Here are a bunch of pictures that show a lot of the park! It was fun to hear the stories but I am not going to lie I was very sad to be going to the ball park again instead of seeing some awesome historical parts of Boston!
Standing on top of the Green Monster!
There was a little museum at the end of the tour and this is Babe Ruth's bat!
Because we came to Boston on a red-eye James got used to showering in the middle of the day which worked fine when we were going to games but on this day the rest of us (mostly me) wanted to go and see some historical sites. For the first, we got into a tense moment! We ended up going to Boston Gardens and James went and got his shower.
It was so beautiful. In the middle of a big city.
This is where the Make Way for Ducklings stories comes from! 
Got Fresh squeezed Lemon Aide! It was excellent on a very hot day! 
This guy doesn't usually take selfies without me so it is super funny to see him take one without a real reason!

So when we were finally able to see some sites I wanted to go to Quincey Market and The Old North Church! 
Quincey Market was my favorite place when I went to Boston in 9th grade. It was super fun place and don't remember a whole lot of things. 
Here is a building on Quincey Square. It was pretty awesome. 
It is such a pretty historical building with shops and food courts. 
In 9th grade I bought a shirt that had this pattern on it so I had to buy this bag! It was super awesome and I was totally excited.  
This is super cool building.
The North End! I was so very excited!  
Dave was leading the way. I really wanted to go to the Old North Church but we had to catch a certain train to Salem to go on the after dark tour. Dave was such a fast walker. We were able to make it!
They tried to keep it as similar as it was back when they used it as the two by land and one by sea! It is super cool.  
I love the flags!
We were sitting in the pew! I sure do love these people!
The pew we were in! I just love being in the historical buildings!
The organ! It is super cool! I was sad that we weren't there to go to church on Sunday there! 

We were able to stop at Mike's Pastry and he loved it! I am so grateful this guy set a very fast pace so that we could see the things I had been waiting two days for! He is an amazing person.
These are Dave's picture of the North End! 
A church that we thought was the Old North Church but it really was the Church that was across from the old North Church.


A statue of Paul Rever in front of the Old North Church!
"The British are Coming"
I mean I didn't have the heart to say that hey Paul Rever wasn't the only person who rode that night and he didn't even make it the farthest!
The Old North Church 
If one by land if two by sea!

Boston 2nd Day

I made everybody stopped by this super old cemetery that was right by our L (the subway in Boston) station! 
I love the old puritan looking head stones.
At night I would totally be creeped out by this! But during the day I loved the old history! It is just so cool!
For the second game our seats were much better! I felt so close to the game it was so awesome!
I believe this is Angel Pagan.
Look how close we were!
Buster Posey warming up! He is one of my favorite players!
It was so cool to see one of the best players out there this close! 
I love this selfie! I am so tan! 
This is where poor Tia and James sat! They weren't as close as us because they were more towards the outfield! But it is really hard to have bad seats in Fenway!
More fun with Dave and I! 
He is just so funny at Baseball games! At one point in this game the Giants were down by line 8 runs! They truly were struggling and Dave was getting so mad! He was so frustrated! I seriously felt bad for him. They did eventually come back a little and I think they only lost by 3 in the end but it was pretty funny! 
This is Big Poppie! He was funny to watch because if he didn't hit a homer than he would get out almost every time! 
I love this picture at the end of the game! Dave obviously not excited the Giants lost again!   
Eventually we did get him to kind of smile! 
So after the game you went out to the ride the L back to the Hotel and it was so gross! The temperature would go up like 20 degrees because there were so many people! It was so gross! I hate humility! 
Boston People Story: I can't remember what day this happened but one day after the game we were standing outside of a restaurant waiting for the boys to get out and I was recounting to Tia all that I had ate that day and I mentioned Pizza right as these people were walking by us and they said Pizza! There is a great little pizzeria right around the corner! And then quite a few other times people would ask us if we were lost and they would offer directions! I would live in Boston because the people are so nice!

Whale Watching

There was a balcony area on our Hotel and Dave and I went out and took pictures! I seriously would live in Boston. I loved the people and the city!
We took a whale watching boat out. It was down by the Aquarium. 
Here is us leaving the harbor!
We ate at a restaurant because James found a $100 bill! We spent it all on lunch but that was after the trip! 
Dave took about a hundred pictures of us leaving the Harbor! He loves the city skylines.
Yes and the harbor!
It is just so pretty!
This boat was like our boat! Just different!
I was nervous about getting sick but the ride out there was cold so I really didn't have a problem on the way out!

Once the boat stopped that was was another story! James was the first to loose it than Tia and then I! Dave on the other hand was livin' it up of the top deck. He had the best picture.
The whales tales are how they tell them apart. Each tale is different.
It was so cool and so sicking at the same time!
We just hung out at the side of the boat while the others ran from side to side!
The blow hole!
It was just so blue out there!
Finally we made it back to real land!
