***Swan Boats***
Once settled into our apartment we decided to do the touristy things Boston has to offer. Our first day out to the city we hit the swan boats. Not the most exciting thing but definitely a Boston must do.
The kids loved the boats (of course). We saw one swan on the pond and took a picture. Unfortunately, the swan was in the process of cleaning his tail feathers and so I omitted the photo. I have, however, included this picture of a fake swan. I'm sure many of you thought:
1) Oh how sad... they took a real swan, gutted, stuffed and mounted it to the boat in order to keep the driver dry, or
2) Oh no!! There is a giant swan on the boat poised to attack that old woman with gray hair.
Thankfully, the swan is made of plastic. No people (or swans) were injured in the production of our tour. That guy on the bench in the background, however, is in some serious danger of getting cooties from that girl. watch out buddy!!

The swan boats are nostalgic of days past, before the modern convenience of comfortable furniture or safety devices to keep your children from falling in the water. Here, I have captured what I think is the essence of the Swan Boat chair.I wonder what those numbers mean?
