"Methinks an island would be the most desirable of landed property, for it seems like a little world by itself; and the water may answer for the atmosphere that surrounds planets."

Since my Dad and Lori have been to Boston before and done most of the Boston touristy stuff, we were able to do some activities I haven't done in the area before. We decided to visit the Boston Harbor Islands. The best part was that Christian had the day off and was able to join us for our fun outing. We left on a boat which gave us a wonderful view of Boston.
We first visited Georges Island where we toured Fort Warren which was built in the 1850's and was used in the Revolutionary and Civil Wars. I had no idea this place even existed; but it was really interesting to see. It is really huge and hard to capture on camera, but this is one of the walls. When standing on the top of the Fort you can see a beautiful view of the city and lighthouses and the harbor.
Then we sped on over to Spectacle Island, were Berke dipped his toes in the Atlantic Ocean for the first time. He wasn't a big fan of the ice water. In the background you can see the city of Boston. Can you tell how humid it was?
We had a lovely day relaxing on the lawn and playing with toys. Berkeley enjoyed his first ride on the boat.
