We sailed into Boston on the afternoon of Sunday, June 26th. This was our first glimpse of the historic city:
There were sailboats everywhere! We had planned to stay on a mooring at the Waterboat Marina, but they were completely full. Jared called the marina to ask for recommendations on where we should go next, and the man working, Larry, told us that we could use the dock for the same price as the mooring! I was extremely excited to have power and be next to a "real" shower :) Jared soon discovered that Larry was a retired ship pilot, and they had many things in common. Larry welcomed us with open arms, and allowed us to stay on the dock for the entire time we were in Boston! This was an excellent location because we were right in the middle of the city within a 5-minute walk to the Faneuil Hall Marketplace.
After getting the boat settled, our first stop was the Faneuil Hall Marketplace (per Jessie's suggestion). This is an area full of great shopping, pushcart vendors, souvenirs, street performers, and excellent food. The Quincy Market hosts take-out food from all over the world. Since Morgan was accompanying us, we decided to avoid the masses of people inside by going to an outside Mexican restaurant. Jared started counting the number of people who came by to pet Morgan, and he lost count after 30. She gets a lot of attention ;)
In the picture below, you can see the size of Quincy Market. It is literally filled with food stalls.
We spent the rest of the evening walking around the markets. Morgan had a great time because Jared allowed her to run through the water fountains with all the kids (see below). We also took a great nighttime shot of the sailboat at the marina.
