Vacation

We are now home after our family vacation to the Northeastern part of the US. I will share just some of the 600 pictures we took. We had a wonderful trip.

Aidan's first look at the very chilly Atlantic Ocean.

Playing games at the Eastham Windmill Festival

The whole family ran in the road race at the Windmill Festival. Darren ran the 5-mile while Aidan and I 'ran' the 2-mile. We came in 42 and 43rd (otherwise known as second to last and last place) but we took our time strolling around the course. Aidan was so excited when everyone was cheering as he ran across the finish line.

Aidan enjoyed looking for crabs in the shallow water.

A quick stop at Plymouth Rock and the Mayflower en route to Boston.Boston

Aidan's favorite part about Boston was the Make Way for Ducklings statue. We read the book many times before we left so he knew exactly what he was looking for. It is a popular spot in the park for all the kids.

We took a Duck boat tour around the city. It goes both on land and in the water.Our tour guide, SuperSize, even let Aidan drive the boat in the water.

He missed the seventh and fourteenth inning stretch.

A treat from out favorite bakery Mike's Pastry Shop. We stopped there three times in four days to be sure we sampled all the yummy baked goods.More time with the ducks.Aidan got to star as the first pig in the play at the Children's Museum.
