the duck boats

For years my boys have been curious about these large boat like cars that swim like ducks.  Finally, two weekends ago... they were able to not only experience this but drive the boat on the Charles. Pretty cool. Plus we learned all sorts of Boston history that we never knew. Made me want to walk the freedom trail. Growing up in Boston you tend to take the history for granted. maybe it's age... maybe it's living in Portland.. not sure.. I just know that I am ready to put on the tourist hat and take that walk.

          here is Gabriel driving

and Aaron. Who actually was the first to drive the boat.
