Boston party

So our trip to Europe started very early on Wednesday morning. Our ride to the airport picked us up at 4:45 to catch our 6:30 flight.  We caught an early flight to Boston which landed at 8:30am  and then we didn't fly out again until 4:45pm. We decided to see Boston during our layover. Fist we took a taxi over to the aquarium which was a good choice because it was raining. It is very nice and centered around a big salt water tank with other exhibits spiraling around the main tank. Some animals were still on vacation while the renovated the main tank like the emperor or penguins but we saw these little guys instead...



The sea turtles are Justin's favorite and they had quite a few...

We also watched the fur seal training which is always fun! It's amazing how smart marine mammals are.
After the aquarium we decided to walk around for a bit. We saw the old north church and the site of the Boston Massacre. 

 
Also of course Paul Revere's statue.

We had a great time in Boston and loved being able to break up our trip. The flight to Amsterdam seemed very short after having a day of sightseeing. Both Justin and I watched a movie on the flight. He watched Argo which he had seen before and I watched the Perks of being a Wallflower which was an awesome movie. After the movies we both tried to sleep but only successfully dosed for about  2 hours. Then at 5:30am our plane landed in Amsterdam!
