Boston Pictures…Minus a Few

August 11, 2010 By Laura

I blogged Monday about the quick trip my husband and I took to Boston. Now I have a few pix to share, except none of our tour of the USS Constitution, which was a high point of the trip. The camera battery died (of course) that morning. And Facebook isn’t letting me upload pix from my cell phone. I’ve done it before–once–and it worked fine, but apparently FB and I are having a spat. Boo, hiss.

Anyway, here are just a few pictures, and if you want to see more, I have a public album of about 20 Boston pix on Facebook (you don’t have to have a FB account).

 

We had to ride the Ducks, of course. We got poured on for the first half. We don’t have the best of luck with Ducks, actually.
The whale-watching cruise was amazing! We saw two humpback mothers with calves and some minke whales. Totally cool.
I loved the courtyard of the Boston Public Library.
We rode the Swan Boats and saw the Make Way for Ducklings statues in the Public Garden. I wanted to get a picture of me on the mother duck, but I’d have had to wrestle a bunch of parents with cameras to get within five feet of it, so I gave up:>)
