Olson's to Boston!

 Finally- A post on Steve and Jan's visit to Boston!!! The last few days I've been sick with fever, aches, sore throat so I haven't done much. Steve O had a similar illness during the last half of the trip and spent a few days resting of the virus.  Anyways- lets get going with the details from the trip!


First stop after picking up Steve and Jan at the airport we headed right downtown! We checked out the Paul Revere statue and the Old North Church. ( you can kind of see the church in the back...) 

 After walking around down town on the HOT day we went to the Barking Crab to enjoy some fresh sea food.

 We enjoyed MANY laughs during the weekend!

Lobster and Crab Legs Dinner

Ohh Boy! :) 

 Next stop... the New England Aquarium

Followed by Whale Watching on yet another HOT day. Can you tell everyone's pretty HOT waiting for the boat to get going....

Father and Son

 Whale blow hole! The whale came next to us and then went UNDER the boat!

 Going down....

 The city of Boston from the Harbor

 Steve O got some looks at his Minnesota Swede shirt! :) It was awesome...

We took a duck boat tour of Boston. We ride these "Boat/Cars" you see behind Steve and Jan. It takes you on a wheel tour of Boston and then drives right into the Charles River and gives you a tour from the water as well. We fought of some rain for a bit but were able to get on the water. Unfortunately, after this trip is when Steve O really started to feel under the weather.

Later that night we ordered from Brent's favorite pizza place: Belmont Pizza. Jan looked through the menu and decided she would get the Calzone... Brent didn't say a word but knew how big that thing was going to be! Jan was shocked to see the size!!

Here we are at the Hartwell Tavern

The Old North Bridge

 Paul Revere's House

 In front of Fanueil Hall

 Quincy Market

 Final stop: Mikes Pastry and Modern Pastry for the test of which place has the better Cannoli

We had SUCH a great time with Steve and Jan while they were here. It was their first trip around Boston and our last before the move. Unfortunately Steve was sick, but he was a trooper! Many memories made that weekend!!!
