We spent the first part of our trip on Cape Cod. We stayed in a cute little motel right on the beach. Marley was in heaven. The weather was perfect, the Cape was lovely.

Jeff's dad treated us to a ball game at Fenway Park. Our seats were one row back from the Orioles dugout! The Red Sox lost, but we had such a great time.

| Best seats we'll ever have at a ballgame! |
We got a nice feel for the city on the
Duck Tour. Our guide was very entertaining and I learned all kinds of neat facts, like how many Italian restaurants are in Boston's North End (108).

Marley got to "drive" once we got into the water. He had just woken up,
hence the really excited expression on his face. |
We couldn't leave without experiencing a little history.

| Studying a sewer drain in Harvard Yard. Hmm, maybe some kind of engineer? |
 |
| That's better, maybe he is ready for Harvard after all |
My favorite part of the trip may have been our day trip to Gloucester.

Back to the history. This time we checked out the city on foot.

I can't even look at these pictures without drooling a little. Yum!
 |
| What do we have here? |
 |
| Holy Cannolies! |
Thanks, Grandpa Boston, for showing us such a great time! Maybe next time you're in town you could bring us some more cannolies*.
*Dear Grammar Nazis, I know that
cannoli is already pluralized, and that
cannolies is not a word, but I really just like the sound of
cannolies better. So leave me alone, okay?

I had a great time - Diane said I missed the best connolo - the Amaretto. Glad to see the weather turned out nice - On Sunday, the weather turned for the worse.
I know his godmother very well, no relation, she was from the old neighborhood.
Great pictures!
Dad
Marley the ladies man.
Looks like a really awesome time. Where can I purchase some of your energy? Thanks for sharing your adventures, it was great.
Great pictures! Love Marley's hat! Can't believe how much you guys are traveling!
It looks like a lovely trip and reminds me of my years in Boston... but your pictures also made me miss Marley. :( Come visit us soon, please! The preschoolers are having a Bonnie music class at the Kenney Home, complete with costumes and hopefully a trip through the resident's haunted house. It's on the calendar for the morning of Oct 29th- you should come if you can!
Trying to work out Kung Fu details now- xoxox
