Boston Harbor Cruise

Some last minute running around led us downtown on Memorial Day, where we took a little Boston Harbor cruise. We decided to take the USS Constitution Cruise since it was only $16 per adult (the baby was free of course) and only 45-minutes long. Perfect!

I originally found BHC online, where you can see the route and read about the cruise we took here. It was super fun to get out on the water and see the sites from the Harbor, but unfortunately, because of construction (or something or other), we were unable to disembark and see the famous ship or the Naval Museum. Also, Boston on Memorial Day was hazy due to forest fires in Quebec (isn't that awful?), but it was still fun, and definitely worth getting outside on such a gorgeous day!

Here's what we saw.

Casey took over the camera at this point. He makes one awesome photographer...

The Lightship Nantucket:



The USS Constitution, a warship of the US Navy, made famous for her actions in the War of 1812 against Great Britian...


Here is a closeup of the ship, cropped and taken from the same picture above...


So cool, one day I hope we actually get on that boat.

Views from, I believe, the Charlestown Navy Yard:



Returning view of the skyline (loved all those boats)...





So much fun!!! We love this place. :)
