Our Ship
The Red Brick Building in the picture is the oldest building still standing in Boston. It was once owned by John Hancock.
A Jellyfish we saw just before our Cruise, at first we had a hard time finding them, but after it had rained we saw what seemed to be thousands of them.
Boston Sky Line
U.S. Coast Guard
A Bridge in Boston
Row Houses in Boston.
Condos on the Boston Harbor, with three floors, a garden, and two parking spots. All for just a "cool" $3.5 million!
The Government Building, where the English controlled Boston under Marshall Law right after the Boston Tea Party.
The North Side Church, the oldest church in Boston (1723), also houses the oldest church bells in North America. In 1775 two lanterns were hung on the steeple to notify Paul Revere that the British were coming by sea.
Bunker Hill, when we told Keira we were coming here, she said "Want to go Bonka Hill."

Looking Down from Bunker Hill Monument.
The USS Constitution Ship. On August 19, 1812 The USS Constitution took on the British Frigate HMS Guerriere. A half hour of intense battle maimed the British Ship. According to legend, as the cannon balls of the HMS Guerriere bounced harmlessly off oak-planked sides of the USS Constitution, a sailor exclaimed "Huzzah! Her sides are made of iron!" Ever since the USS Constitution has enjoyed the affectionate nickname "Old Ironsides."
The Marines would climb up to the platform on top of the masts to sharp shoot in a battle.
Looking down the wrong end of the barrel.
Ringing the Bell on the USS Constitution.
We told Keira to "Smile" this is what she did. LOL! :)
Stairs going to the lower decks.
The Steering Wheel
Sleeping quarters. Some parts of the Ship were under renovation.
The Cannons and the barrel that they used to desalinate the meat.
A Destroyer used in WWII and the Koren War. It helped to protect troops as they were invading Okinawa and was hit by three different Kamikaze Japanese planes.
Passed out after a long and fun filled day.

That sounds like it was an awesome trip!!! Do you guys know where you will be living next?
We are hoping for either somewhere in Virgina or Maryland. Jon already has his licenses in those places. We will not know though until August, probably a couple of weeks before we move. Keep your fingers crossed for Virgina!
