To break up the monotony of the days since school started, over Columbus Day weekend, I decided to take the kids (with the help of my mom) to the New England Aquarium in Boston, Mass. After seeing Cole mesmerized by a fish tank at the doctor's office, I thought both kids would love it. I was a little disappointed because I've been to aquariums in Virginia Beach, Va.; Monterrey, Calif.; and New Orleans, La. but it was fun to see the kids and their curiosity and amazement. The coolest were the giant sea turtle and the sharks in the center tank - that stood all three stories of the building! Cole would look at me with this great big grin as if he couldn't believe his eyes! And Olivia loved the tidepool where she could touch starfish and hermit crabs. Afterwards, we walked around Quincy Market, had dinner at Cheers where Olivia lost her first tooth, and then we stayed at the Constitution Inn before heading home the next day. What a great weekend!
(Some of the pictures were a little fuzzy with the bad lighting, sorry!)
