Boston - Finale

Well, we're all home (those of us who didn't go elsewhere for spring break vacation) - but, not before having yet another amazing Bostonian experience...

We had breakfast at the Quincy Market again - yum! - and then took the ferry around the Boston Harbor, over to the USS Constitution (it's on the Freedom Trail tour - you can read more about it if you follow the link in my last blog entry). After a stop in the wonderful little museum there (learning all about life aboard a navy ship in the early 1700's), we all got a 30 minute tour on the USS Constitution - it's still owned and operated by the Navy (we had to go though security to enter the dock) and it's basically the oldest floating ship from the American Navy - it's one of the first 3 ships George Washington had built for the new American Navy in the late 1700's.

The trip was amazing... few notes to those who went on the trip and their parents - we'll have a 'reunion' party sometime in the next few weeks where we can all bring pictures and share stories. We'll also set up a Photobucket and/or a Facebook account where we can all post pictures and stories and invite friends and family to check it out.

BTW, the trophies and plaques are all here at my house - I'll bring them to school some time this next week... so cool!

Sleep well everyone - what an amazing few days we've had!!! Happy Spring break - see you in a week.
