Our flight was on time and we all settled in for our 3 hour flight to Boston.
The flight was uneventful and we arrived early. After a short walk, we were ready to pick up our bags.
Our bus was waiting for us,
and with our early arrival, we were able to get to the wharf in time for the noon departure of the tall ship Liberty Clipper.
Once out of the harbor, it was time to raise the sails and the kids got a chance to help out!
Charles is very happy to be in Boston!
And so are our chaperones!!
The sail gave us a great view of the Boston skyline as well as some as historic landmarks such as the Old North Church and the Bunker Hill Monument.
Upon are safe return to the dock, we headed over to Faneuil Market for lunch. The overwhelming choice was "chowda" in a bread bowl. And the Oyster Bar fit the bill.
After the "chowda," the kids had some time to browse the shops at the marketplace and then it was time for the New England Aquarium. What an amazing place with so much to see!
It was now dinner time and our bus picked us up for the short trip to Boston's North End for an Italian dinner at La Famiglia Giorgio.
The food was outstanding and the portions were huge which left little room for dessert. But the iconic Mike's Pastry was right around the corner and a cannoli or two was in order.
After a big meal and a long day, it was time to head west to Milford, MA for our hotel. Tomorrow we sing at St. Michael Episcopal Church at 10:00 a.m. After the service, they will provide us with a BBQ lunch. With a very successful day 1 under our belt, it was time for a good night's sleep. Thanks for all your prayers!
