AQUARIUM!

We love the New England Aquarium.  We had a lovely time there today with our hosts, Ian and Elizabeth, who are New England Aquarium AMBASSADORS, which means we got to cut in line.  This was particularly good because the place was mobbed.  Lucy loved it.

Due to an unfortunate combination of poor photography skills (mine) and low light levels in the aquarium, we don't really have any good pictures that convey her JOY at seeing all the creatures.  She would have stood at each tank for hours, I think, if we'd let her.

 

Before going into the aquarium, we ran around by the waterfront for a while.  Lucy really enjoyed this large sculpture:

 

And then after the Aquarium, we headed to Cambridge and enjoyed a lovely lunch at the All-Star Sandwich Bar, followed by Christina's for ICE CREAM.  See evidence:

For previous views of our visits to Christina's (and the ensuing messiness) you might take a look at this.  Or this.  Or even this.  Christina's is amazing.    For specific flavor choices on this visit: Jake had Kulfi, Bridget had coconut-Butterfingers, and Lucy had (well, there's no denying it) -- CHOCOLATE.
