| Started the day with a Duck Tour. |
 |
| Clare loves it when I ask her to pose for a photo. |
 |
| Trinity Church reflected in the John Hancock Building. |
 |
| Hitting the Charles River. |
 |
| After our Duck Tour, we headed to the historic Union Oyster House for lunch. |
 |
| JFK's favorite booth at the Union Oyster House. |
 |
| Goofing in the gift shop. |
 |
| Walking through the New England Holocaust Memorial across the street after lunch. |
 |
| This is the only photographic/video evidence I kept of poor Michael after he was pulled into a street performance group's schtick. There was dancing. It was hysterical. He is a Very Good Sport. |
 |
| Walking around the North End and along the Freedom Trail. |
 |
| Can't not stop at famous Mike's Bakery. |
 |
| Paul Revere statue. |
 |
| Enjoying their Mike's Bakery goodies on the Paul Revere Mall. |
 |
| Heading to the Old North Church, where Paul Revere sent the infamous "one if by land, two if by sea" signal. |
 |
| Old North Church. |
 |
| Sitting in a set of pews inside the church. |
 |
| On April 18, 1775, Paul Revere told three Boston patriots to hang two lanterns in the church's steeple -- they carried the lanterns up that winding staircase on the right, squeezed behind the pipe organ and through a small door into the tower, and then climbed eight stories -- to signal that the British were leaving Boston, rowing across the Charles, and heading to Concord. |
 |
| Another old graveyard. |
 |
| Tons of the 1600 and 1700 gravestones had these skull-and-crossbones designs on them. |

 |
| Dinner in. |
 |
| The guys watched the NBA draft and Clare didn't want to head out again, so I took a solo drive around Central Square, Harvard Square, and Somerville. Snapped this photo of one of my favorite houses on our street |
