Little Big Adventures
This is a busy bit of summer, I'm handling the early-ish camp pickups for Erica while Julie takes the earlier shift. Trying to get in some family activities and some one-on-one adventures with the kid in between weeks of day camp.
Last weekend, it was very hot. We went to Constitution Beach on Saturday. With the GLX it's a quick ride from our neighborhood. The beach is off of a very sheltered inlet of Boston Harbor, across from the airport. Not a bad spot. It's shallow with no waves to speak of. There's noise from the airport, but it's fun to watch the planes. I need to get some new beach shoes, though, the sand was scalding.
That Sunday, I took Erica to the Legoland Center at Assembly, which was a fun day.
Yesterday afternoon, I took Erica on a New England Aquarium Whale Watch trip out on Stellwagen Bank. The weather was perfect, with flat, calm seas, and we got some great views of several humpback whales, including a mother-calf pair. The calf came very close to the boat (even up on deck we might have been within 20 feet?), and it's amazing to see such a large animal up close.
Today will be a quieter day. Next week maybe I'll try to arrange a family trip to George's Island?
