On Friday my son and his girlfriend flew out here for the weekend.  (part of that time was spent elsewhere since he has a friend up this way who was having big doin's on Saturday).

Having Friday afternoon open, we proceeded down to Boston to wile away some time sightseeing. 

First of all, it was very very sunny which makes pictures a bit difficult.  However, it does make for a few decent silhouettes. Here's one:



It constantly amazes me that these people can figure out how to put up street signs to name their alleys, but not signs for major roads.  (I guess everyone is supposed to just "know" those)



We saw many a rooftop garden while strolling about.  My question is... how much weight can those rooftops take?  I'd hate to be sleeping on the floor below if one of those trees decided to fall through!



Looks nice though.

I think we found the place where the Boston Pops play outdoors - by the Charles River.  Look at the inside of that band shell!  I never paid much attention to these things on television - had no idea it was wood.



It was a lovely warm day - exactly what one wants during summer.  A bit of humidity, right by the river, and a couple of canoes looking just right.



Looking out over Boston Commons toward the South part of the city was an excellent view. 



There are more, but that's all I have time for tonight.  Got a text that they got back to Chicago just fine a bit earlier this evening. 

All in all a great weekend.  Hope that bodes well for the upcoming week but I won't hold my breath.
