independence day
Posted on Tuesday, July 5th, 2011 at 7:19 pmWe went on a boat ride yesterday to see Boston Light, which is the oldest lighthouse site in the U.S. Charlotte loved the boat ride, and spent the trip there and back looking out the window at the waves.
Charlotte wondered why the bell didn’t have a clapper in it. The park ranger told her it was because the bell was replaced with electronic sirens.
This is an old anchor, which Charlotte thought was a rocket ship.
View from the top of the lighthouse. Way off in the distance is downtown Boston.
