Day 75

Day 75: 7/31/15 (Boston to Northfield, NH)
93 miles

This morning we cooked up some eggs loaded with mushrooms, garlic, and onions before heading out for our Duck Tour.  Somewhere between picking up all the ingredients during our first full day in Boston, we stopped to buy tour tickets.  We learned that there are two different Duck Tour companies, and we ended up on the lesser-known one by mistake.  We were going to try and get a refund, but it had already been such an ordeal that we decided to just stick with the tickets we had.  Our tour departed from the Aquarium at 11am so we walked down around 10:45am.  We road a double-decker bus over to the Navy yard where we hopped on a duck.  Our land guide was an older woman who was a Boston native.  She was pretty entertaining and we learned a few fun facts.  Our dive into the water was seamless and our cruise around the Charles River was nice and relaxing.

Once we were back on land, we were dropped off back in front of the Aquarium.  On the walk back to Audrey and Drew's apartment, we stopped at Mike's Pastry to bring home some sweets and then the beer store for a 6-pack of Not Your Father's Root Beer.  Jillian started packing everything up while Rico road the T our car.  Traffic was a little crazy, as to be expected, but eventually Rico arrived and we loaded everything into the car and were on our way back to New Hampshire.  We made it to Rico's parents right around dinner time so we ordered some sushi and Chinese food.  Back at the house, we were finally reunited with our kitty!  She had to sniff us for about 15 minutes before she really believed we were home.

The rest of the night was spent soaking in the fact that our trip was over.  Jillian stayed up until about 4am going through all the photos since the wedding and trying to make notes for all the blogs.

Fact:
Khaleesi didn't forget us!

Lesson:
If you want a tour on the old amphibious vehicles, don't use Super Ducks
