However the drive to Boston is quick and on a rainy Saturday morning there is very little traffic. Parking at the Aquarium was simple and visiting was a perfect rainy day activity. Paul, Jena, and Marin scored a deal on tickets through their local library. $8 each for adults. Of course children under 3 are free. We wandered throughout the Aquarium, visiting each exhibit, looking at the marine creatures behind the glass walls. Penguins, sharks, sea turtles, fish of all kinds. What kid doesn't like an Aquarium?
Hey No Tapping On The Glass!
Charlotte and Marin Riding a Sea Turtle. Dont worry, it wasn't real.
Maeve riding on a humpback whale. Well at least that is what we told her. Poor kid didn't know what was going on.
Ohhh psychadelic.
Marin the Turtle Rider!
Obviously we weren't the only ones with the bright idea the place filled up very quickly. Luckily by the time it got a little too crowded for us it was lunch time. Off to visit the North End for some pizza at famous Pizzeria Regina.
Despite the dismal day the North End was busy. The typical mobster looking guys standing by their white Cadillacs. We made our way to Pizzeria Regina and had a couple of pies. Spectacular as always. Of course no trip to the North End would be complete with out a stop at Mikes Pastries on the way out. We had to grab Charlotte a pink cupcake and somehow a few canolli's also made it into the box. Hummm.
After an action packed morning we hit the cars and headed home. We made it just in time for Charlotte and Maeve's naps. Mom snuggled with Maeve on her chest, dad snuggled with Charlotte and the whole house took a little siesta. Now that is what we call a perfect Saturday!
And what do we do for a perfect Sunday? How about a teaparty with the girls?
And finally our darling Maeve who is now eating solid foods. We decided to mix it up by giving her some squash. Ohh how she loathes Squash.
