One of the best parts about living in Boston is the scenery and the perks that comes with is. For 130 years the Swan Boats have been peddling around the Boston Public Gardens, bringing joy to young and old. We had been talking about bringing Samma for about a year, but it was definitely something I wanted to be a part of for her first experience, but because of timing, schedules, and weather, we never got a chance to go until this past Sunday.
Since we weren't able to get together with the McCarthy clan for Mothers Day the weekend before, we took advantage of the awesome day and spent it in Boston with the ducks.
Samma's favorite part was throwing the bread to the ducks as they swam by... we even saw a few ducklings, which was wicked cute. And of course we couldn't walk away from this momentous occasion without buying Samma a t-shirt (and a stuffed duck) to commemorate it!
The only downer was we were so ready to move on from the ducks and start our walk towards the carousel that we didnt get a chance to take pictures on the world-famous Make Way For Duckling statues...
I mean, sure, they've been there since 1987... it's not going anywhere... but still!
The one last stop we were going to make on out Tour de Boston was the water fountain in the North End. We tackled this bad boy last year when Samma was just beginning to walk, so we thought it would be fun to let her run through them on her own... sadly, however, the City of Boston decided that the weekend before Memorial Day, regardless of how warm it was, was not the time to turn on the water fountains. Bummer.
Regardless, a great time was had by all, and as always, I look forward to our next Samma adventure. :)
