The Freedom Trail

Until yesterday, Lindsay and Caitlin thought they were getting off easy on a Perkins family adventure. He he he...

According to my iPhone health app, we walked a total of over 6 miles yesterday, almost the whole Freedom Trail. We saw lots of cool places, including a cemetery where some of the signers of the Constitution were buried, and Paul Revere's house. Most notably (to the kids, anyway) we stopped to take a picture with the Make Way for Ducklings statue. Look at that proud Mama Duck :)

 Luke needs to go back to duck school

We stopped for lunch in the Quincy Market, where we enjoyed lobster mac and cheese, clam chowda, fish and chips...mmmm.

Mom enjoys her fry too much

After our feet were about to fall off, we went to enjoy cannolis at Mike's Pastry from many recommendations. So good!!

 After all that walking, we were on the polar opposite part of town from our car. Thus, the Perkinses packed onto the subway! Here, their subway cards are called CharlieCards... again, if you've been paying close attention to the Perkins family, you know Charlie is the endearing term we use for Dad when he does something dumb.

We plan on handing him the card when he deserves it. 

And as for today? Well, Mom decided that we earned an unstructured day after yesterday, so some of us are planning on taking a bike ride around Newburyport (small town outside Boston where our house is), while some of us plan on sleeping the day away. I won't name names, but it rhymes with Fathan.
