We took the kids on the train into Boston for the day a few weeks ago. We like to do this about once a summer, and we make a big deal out of it, and the kids were crazy for it! First we went across the street to Station 5 Grill for some breakfast. We were there when they opened at 7 am, ha ha. Little buddy ate some pancakes with his daddy.
Next up, we went to West Natick station to pick up an 8:20 train to Boston. They thought this was SO cool. Grant loves anything with wheels, and probably the fact that it was going fast. Natalie is crazy about trains, so it was probably the highlight of the day!
Next we walked around the Garden for a little bit, and then took the Blue Line over to Aquarium so we could get on the commuter boat that takes you from Long Wharf over to Charlestown. It's only about 10 minutes long, it comes every half hour, and it only costs $1.70! You really can't beat it. We rode up front so Natalie could see out.
Once we got over to Charlestown, we didn't have enough time to go over and see Old Ironsides, so we just walked around the wharf area. We found this giant anchor and attempted to take a family photo on it. Three out of four Bailey family members participated!
After we caught the boat back to Long Wharf, we grabbed a quick pizza before heading back to Back Bay so we could catch our train back home. We were home before 1:30, and Todd said, "It's only 1:30 and I feel like we've done a full day of activities already!" It was a good, fun family outing!
Another fun day! We need to come visit you guys so you can take us to all of those cool places. The boat ride was $1.70? Amazing!
