Ducks and O'Briens - Our last Day

Duck Tours

Our last day and it was a busy one. We walked over to the Museum of Science to catch our "Duck" for a tour of Boston. The ducks are WWI amphibious vehicles put into service to give tours around town and on the Charles River. Rolling through the streets seeing historical sites, we were greeted by locals who waived and shouted. We responded with "Quack, quack!"  After slipping in the water, Dallas and all the kids were asked to drive.  A beautiful day on the Charles, what could be better?

After we disembarked, Dallas and I headed over to Constitution Warf and took a tour of the USS Constitution ("Old Ironsides"). No matter how many times I've stepped aboard this ship, it always give me a thrill. This time I got to see it through Dallas' eyes.

Lunch at the Union Oyster House. No trip to Boston would be complete without it.

Finally, the party at my cousin Diane's house. For those of you who really want a listing of who's who in the group photo, let me know. I am so blessed to have these people in my life. They give me a party each time I come and it's always a typically wild O'Brien affair. Thanks to all of you for helping me show Dallas Boston at it's best.
