A Grand Day Out! (June 4, 2011)

It was a nice weekend back in June so we continued to explore our surroundings. I was dying to go to Quincy Market because I heard how awesome it was. So we started at Joe's work for the free parking and close walk to the train. This is Joe's work and Joe. He looks good.


First family trip on the train. Maia really did like it.


Quincy Market and these minute men. Sadly, I was under impressed by Quincy Market. I'll have to go back and give it a second chance. We kept walking though.


We found a carousel across the street from Quincy Market at the North End Harbor. Maia had to ride it.


While we were in the North End, I remembered that Mike's Pastry was in the North End. We checked it out on my iPhone and we were blocks away. We stopped for our first encounter with Mike's famous cannolis. YES! They were AWESOME!!! Probably the best part of the day.

Paul Revere has his own Bruins jersey. This was taken before the Boston Bruins won the Stanley Cup. We saw this on our way to eat our cannolis. Which was in a little plaza behind the North Church.


Our next stop- The North Church. How convenient! I took a quick self-guided tour with Maia. I will need to go back when Maia isn't there to distract me from reading and learning.


Maia loved the pews in their little booths.




After a long but very fun day, we went home. (Here is a pic of one of the cute little alley ways.) Who would have thought that a day planned to go to Quincy Market would have ended up like this! Not me! But I'm sure glad it did.
