This weekend we took advantage of our proximity to Boston...and our siblings who live there, and visited the USS Constitution. My dad would be proud. It's a wooden war ship that was used in the War of 1812 and is still commissioned by the Navy. Sebastien and Genevieve just thought it was a pirate ship. There were many references to Captain Hook throughout the day. We had beautiful weather in the high 70s, which I'm wondering if that will be the last warm day for the year.

We had a yummy lunch, then visited a park by the river. Dan and Brian relaxing.

So the next day (Sunday) was rainy and boring so we thought, "hey, let's go back to the Constitution and go to the museum since we didn't get a chance to go yesterday." So we did! (and luckily all this stuff is free!)
Here are Sebastien and Daddy pulling a goat onto the ship.
Genevieve practiced sanding the ship deck...
...and sleeping in a hammock.
They even could play with this while we looked around the museum.
Since we had some more time, we stopped by the Boston Children's Museum for a couple hours before heading home. Needless to say, the kids were spent!
