During Day 2 of the Moesner's visit we braved Boston. We went to the New England Aquarium where we saw cute penguins, seals, sharks, several varieties of fish, and a green sea turtle over forty years old. We even got to pet some sting rays. Then we walked to the Boston Common for a picnic lunch; peanut butter and "Fluff" was on the menu for the kids. From there we walked about half of the Freedom Trail, which is a trail that highlights historical sites in downtown Boston. Most of these sites are from the Revolutionary Era.

The Old South Meeting House, where the Boston Tea Party was planned...
It was neat to see buildings over 230 years old nestled among modern office buildings and skyscrapers. |
