[517] Today we started with walking the Freedom Trail. It was such a beautiful day to be out. There were also many groups of kids on thier end-of-year field trips.[548] [553] The girls actually took the time to walk through most sites and read plaques (or mom/dad would read from the guide).[514]
[545]We found an open market and stopped for a fresh fruit break. [538] There was also this very large maccaroni...
[565]We stopped at the USS Constitution and USS Young. [569] The ship tours were not running but both were open for self-guided tours. We spent time on both though and learned a bit history as well.
Fom there we were to the Science Center. [582] It had many hands-on exhibits, sort of like the St Louis Science Center. It also had movies, I Max, and shows. [585] We watched an interesting one on lightning. Amanda volunteered and had fun getting her hair scattered all over the place. [588] Both kids, actually all four of us, had a good time reading all the information and play with all the exhibits.
The night ended with Pizza from Upper Crust. It was a cool walk home as storms are now moving into the area.
Here's to clear weather on our way home tomorrow. Our internet at the hotel is horrible. I will add photos when I can.

Day 8: Whales, water, and Exploring Boston
Since it was going to be such a nice day we decided to try our luck at Whale watching. We booked tickets on a large catamaran which got out to the whale area faster than any other ship. The ride was uneventful but shortly after we arrove a pod of whales appeared. We had 4 whales together swimming near the ship for the hour we were there.
When we got back we went right over to the New England aquarium. We had a quick bite in the cafe and then went to see the sights.
It is a nice facility and the center piece, a 5 story fish tank, was impressive. Everyone just spent time looking in the huge tank.
It was almost rush hour and everyone needed a break so we headed back to the hotel. Kasey is getting better with reading maps and dealing with public transportation.
After we decided to do a walk in the South Neighborhhod and look for a place to eat. The book we brought had good recommendations for both. We ended the night at the Prudential Center.
