Bright and early we were up and ready to pile into the car. Of course we had to wait for Felicity *winks* I don't know how she always is the last person ready to go.
But we headed out to spend the day in Boston.
It's not a super long drive - just two hours - and soon we were there. I've got to say, I was glad we had Tyrel with us and he was the driver.
The traffic in Boston is crazy!! He kept saying it was way better than NYC, but I've never been there so I wouldn't know.
Our first stop was The New England Aquarium. That was a lot of fun. Wandering around and looking at all the fish.
There are some really ugly fish out there! Really. I didn't take any pictures of the ugly ones though, I was in shock or something. We'd walk up to a tank and I'd be like, "Ewwwww!!! It's so ugly!!"
But, guys,
I love sea turtles!!!! They're so big and adorable!
*watches a video Felicity got of us at the Aquarium and realizes Tyrel says, "I am Daminka and I am obsessed with turtles"* *dies laughing* I guess maybe it's true. But aren't they just so cute!?
Also we got to touch some rays and a small shark. *squeals* I kinda liked the way the rays felt. But the shark was gross
*shudders* It was sleeping, otherwise I may not have dared to put my hand anywhere near it.
*laughs*
After the Aquarium we just took off walking, and found a Panera Bread. There we stopped to have lunch. I had never ate there before and I had no idea what to get. So, that was when Tyrel shoved me up to the counter and started ordering for me. He got me some kind of chicken sandwich and some kind of green tea.
And it was so good! I got the same thing on the my second time at Panera Bread, it was that good. Mostly it was the tea.
*craves it now*
 |
| this picture is the greatest. *laughs* thanks Emily *winks* |
After lunch, we wanted to find the Freedom Trail - which is a brick trail through Boston, with Historical markers and places all along - so Tyrel pulled out his handy-dandy phone and found which way to walk to find it. Once we found it, we looked at the map and pointed ourselves in the direction of Paul Revere's house because that was one thing almost all of us wanted to be sure to see.
 |
this girl was dumb, and didn't bring a coat. guess her mind was elsewhere? *chuckle*
so Tyrel let her wear his for a while |
I didn't get a single picture of Paul Revere's house! No pictures where allowed inside, but I didn't take any of the outside even. I guess I was too busy living in the moment and posing for other people's pictures.
*winks* But it was great! Even some of the furniture where once used by
Paul Revere himself!!!!!
So we walked a lot, let me tell you - was so tired by the end of this day. We ended up walking through Little Italy and Tyrel and Kirsten got some Gelato. I tried both theirs, but Tyrel's was the best.
I almost died. I think he got strawberry and Kirsten got Espresso. I love ice cream y'all, but
Gelato is ten-thousand times better. It's that good.
*craving it so bad*
It was a lot of fun, walking along the Freedom Trail and hopping in any store we thought looked nice. People could probably tell we were tourists from a mile off. We sure acted like tourists.
*laughs* Pointing out every little thing, squealing and gasping - it was great.

| LaKaysha and Tyrel - 'cause they're too cool to come in the gift shop ;P |
 |
| the statue of Paul Revere *hearts* |
 |
| after even more tries than this, we got the perfect selfie *feels proud* |
The next stop was The Old North Church.
*dies* Just think, I've actually been in the church where they hung the lanterns -
"One if by land, two if by sea" *dies some more*
 |
I was the first one to see this, and I almost passed out and died, and was like, "guys!! come read this!!"
I stood where Lafayette stood, and seen what he seen!!!!! *squeals* |
 |
| look at those tourist faces! *laughs* |
After The Old North Church, we walked some more down the Freedom Trail, but it was getting late, and we basically seen all we had hoped to see, so we turned around and headed back to the parking garage to get the car. But once we recognized where we were and knew how to get back to the car, we went to walk by the Harbor.
 |
| Felicity, taking a picture of us (go to her blog and you'll see I'm telling the truth *laughs*) |
It was right along here ^^^ that Tyrel, LaKaysha, and I did The Monkee Walk.
*shrugs* I don't know why, we're just cool I guess.
After the Harbor, it was back to the parking garage and we were headed home again. It was a great day and I loved every minute of it.
*happy sigh*
We must've ate some sort of supper or something, but I don't remember what it was. I just remember that I drank some tea and Josiah came over.
*laughs* like he did every night.
*winks*
oh, and our uncles TP-ed our rooms.
*nods with a sigh* they're funny guys
We watched a movie that night, and soon we were headed off to bed. Kirsten and Emily's vacation was over. The next day they flew out and we were left alone. One of the rare moments when I felt sad on this trip was the night after they left. Babysitting at Mary's, knowing they were on their way home, not sure what I was gonna do for the rest of my time there. I didn't want to go home - nothing like that. I was just tired and lonely - I have a right to be that way sometimes
*winks*
But the rest of my trip was just as great as the two weeks Emily and Kirsten were there with us!! We'll save that for another post, though
*laughs*
Hey gang! What do you say we do Seattle next!? *winks*
Ever been to Boston? Isn't it just amazing!?
Have a favorite pic from this post? Would you dare to be seen with my group in public? *laughs*
