The Tall Ships of Boston
This weekend was a great time to visit Boston, Massachusetts where the Tall Ships were once again anchored along the Boston Shoreline. The ship above is from Uruguay and the captain allowed visitors to come aboard throughout the day on Saturday.
The Tall Ships are purely amazing. I’m not a huge fan of sailing and rarely go on the water, but I went with some friends and took my three month old daughter her first trip to Boston.
In all, there were 30 + Tall Ships that were in the area and we took a shoreline cruise that lasted about 1 1/2 hours in order to see all of the ships. Unfortunately, there were really long lines to visit some of the ships, and we didn’t the time (or the patience) to wait in line to get aboard.
Boston is a great city to visit, especially if you have tickets to a Red Sox game at Fenway Park. That would have been the perfect end to our day in Boston, but we checked out the tall ships and then headed back home with the little one in tow. Although she is a good baby, she probably isn’t ready for a night game at Fenway.
nice picture - that boat looks pretty old
