Another day in Boston

We did some more sight-seeing in Boston today. I, of course, miss MacKenzie like crazy so when we saw this dog frolicking in the fountains downtown we just HAD to stop and watch. 
He was so funny- running around and barking at the fountains!
We stopped at the water front to look at all of the fancy hotel. This one had a really cool dome.


This yacht was docked in Boston's harbor. It was GORGEOUS!!
Susie pretended it was her boat... ;)

We walked all the way across town to see where the Boston tea party took place just to discover that it was currently removed for renovation! ARG! I was so bummed out. 
Isn't this hotel just magnificent?! I just LOVED it.
Jackson is our navigator. He is always planning things out for us. 
This building is part of the Children's Museum here in Boston. It looked like a cool place.
Jackson made me pose for this photo. The people around us shot me VERY dirty looks. Oops. 
We walked by Paul Revere's house. We did not get to tour it because I didn't want to spend the money! :)
These are the gates at Haaaaaarvard. 
Enter here to gain smarts ;)
I pretended in my head that I was going to school there...haha :)
UPLAND road in Cambridge- near Harvard's campus
We drove out to Concord and Lexington, Massachusetts to do some additional sight-seeing. We went to Walden Pond and hiked. It was a gorgeous place- home to Henry David Thoreau. 
The water was clear and warm-we wished that we would have packed swimsuits!
If you were ever forced to read, "My Life in the Woods" you remember this scene. Sigh. I HATED that book. It was cool to see the place, though.

We drove some today and it was not too bad. I expected it to be a lot worse out here, traffic wise. They do, however, allow people to drive in the breakdown lanes during rush hour. That was totally unnerving. I was so weirded out to have cars coming up my right side when I was in the far right lane. Eek. The drivers out here just do not care. They are wild! We hit some traffic and a little rain but all in all it was a good day.

We're in Warwick, Rhode Island for the next three nights. We had all kinds of seafood tonight at a restaurant right on the ocean. It was a pretty cool place. I  love lobster now. Yum! 

We're not sure what's on deck for tomorrow since we may be getting a ton of rain. We might go to Yale (it is only 1.5 hours from here in Connecticut ) before we go up to Providence, RI (home to Brown University. We're getting to see all kinds of Ivy League schools!). I'm just hoping for some more yummy seafood in my future. :)
