Boston - June 4th

My last day with Ciocia Ada in Boston.
We went to Legoland - Hurray!
And then we went straight to Logan International Airport, see you soon Ciocia! Babi and I flew out of Boston at 3:56pm. We flew for 5h 19 min and traveled 2,100 miles. We saw Boston from the air and we saw lots of clouds.  I built the Lego Police Station that Ciocia Ada gave me as a farewell gift. We also saw the Great Lakes and more clouds. Finally we saw the mountains and soon after we landed in Salt Lake City.
Mommy, Annabelle, and Sophie were there waiting for us! I was so happy to see them, but so sad to have finished my awesome trip.

Boston- June 3rd

WOW! WHAT A DAY!
Again we went to the city - two buses - we saw the USS Constitution. Seriously, I could spend all day on it.  Everything was so interesting! We also explored the USS Cassin Young - it was cool too.
We took a Ferry to a trolley that took us to a Duck Boat.  Our Duck Boat was really old - it was built and used during WWII.  The Duck Boat could turn from a bus into a boat.  We quacked at the tourists who were walking around.
While on the Duck Boat I sat near the Captain.  He said I was also a captain, Captain Jack.  I told the others all about the Great Dome of the State House that Paul Revere built. We passed the place where Paul Revere began his famous ride. 
I even drove the Duck Boat all by myself when we were on the water!
In the afternoon Ciocia Ada took us via subway to Harvard University. There I saw butterflies, whale skeletons, a giraffe and a squirrel. And I gave my first lecture - in mathematics.
At the end of the day we met Ciocia Ada's friends Caitlin and Dee in a super cool pizzeria. Caitlin and I re-enacted the battle of Bunker Hill with toy soldiers.
