Tagging along on one of Jen’s work-related trips . . .<\/p>\n

A Waterfront\/Seaport District Bike Tour<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\"Waterfront\/Seaport<\/p>\n

A RIB (rigid inflatable boat) Tour of Boston Harbor<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\"Flagship<\/p>\n

And a stop at Spectacle Island<\/a>, which is a landfill turned public park (something they’re trying to do at Fresh Kills in Staten Island):<\/p>\n

\"West<\/p>\n

We walked over Moakley Bridge<\/a> toward Downtown Boston and the North End, where we walked along Hanover Street<\/a> where the St. Joseph Feast was happening:<\/p>\n

\"Mike's<\/p>\n

Then through Paul Revere Mall<\/a> over to Old North Church<\/a> and Copp’s Hill Burying Ground<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Lobster<\/p>\n

We stayed at the Seaport Hotel and World Trade Center<\/a> in a room that overlooked World Trade Center Avenue<\/a>.<\/p>\n
