More of Boston

We spent the day touring Fenway Park, venturing out on a harbor cruise, exploring Boston Common, and spending more time in Quincy Market. Fenway Park is the oldest and coolest ballpark around – almost 100 years old. We got to sit on the Green Monsta! The Red Sox ownership has really made efforts to preserve the ballpark and improve the facilities - lots of subtle improvements - rather than demolishing the old ballpark like a lot of other teams have done in recent years. It seems like a small park (3rd smallest) as the seats all seem really close to the action.
Seeing the tall ships in the harbor was cool. The kids enjoyed the bronze duckling statues in Boston Common (commemorating the famous children’s book), as well as a visit to the Build-a-Bear workshop in Quincy Market. Madison and Boston chose their bears, stuffed them, named them, and picked out neat outfits.
