Sistah Time!

My sister got a ticket to Boston for her Mother's Day gift, so it was like an awesome gift for me too! Thanks Andy! Karyn brought Baby Cora along. She and Oliver really loved on each other sometimes, and really did not at other times. I think Oliver has that perky-in-the-morning Raymond Gene. She liked to take things a bit slower.

We had four wonderful days together and we used every moment! We went to Harvard Yard (that's the library above), walked around the North End, checked out Longfellow's house where General Washington stayed, got treats at Mike's Pastries, went to a few parks and playgrounds, got fresh fish at Legal Sea Food, sampled ice cream at Toscanini's....

Oliver and Cora sometimes got sick of being cooped up in strollers, so when we could we let them roam. Here they are roaming at the Copp's Hill Burying Ground in the North End.

Karyn and the babies and I went for a whale watch one day.

Our boat followed five humpback whales. Karyn got much better pictures of them. Pictures don't do whales justice though; it's hard to see just how huge they are when they are swimming in a big ocean. If you ever get the chance to go on a whale watch, do it. So cool!
