Tall Ships

After way too many days of rain or clouds and cold temperatures, summer may have finally arrived in Boston. (Fingers crossed!) We took advantage of the nice weather yesterday to visit the Tall Ships which are currently on display in Boston Harbor. Jeremy had won 4 "VIP" tickets to the ships last week so we invited Dennis and Dianne to join us. Well, VIP probably isn't the right term, as they decided to give out free tickets to probably everyone in Boston, so it was very crowded! In addition to people, there were so many boats in the harbor trying to get a look at the ships. We were able to board the Russian ship which was the largest in the port, and we were amazed at how young the crew looked.





It was a great afternoon in the sun! That evening Meg and Andy came over and were our first official dinner guests. Meg had to catch a flight at 8:20, so we had a speedy dinner of Jambalaya and home-made mint chocolate chip ice cream for desert. Yummy!
