Caleb and I decided to head out to Boston for a bit of an urban hike for our Daddy Day. It has been a while since we have wandered around the city (we used to almost every Friday when we lived in the North End and I could carry him on my shoulders for miles on end…he’s unfortunately too big for me to carry that far anymore). We took the red line to MGH and then walked to Megan’s office to surprise her. From there we checked out the State House and then decided to head over to Harvard Square (again on the red line). We checked out one of Caleb’s favorite toy/book stores, had a bite to eat, and then headed home.

Alewife.

Alewife again.

…and again.

…sigh, yes, this is still Alewife. What can I say, I thought the light looked awesome this morning.

After visiting Megan we stopped by the State House for a quick tour inside. Caleb wanted his photo in front before we made our way in.

Hmmmm. I think we are in the correct place…

Caleb thought this guy looked cool.

In the Great Hall of Flags. This guy had the room to himself, and despite the numerous flags to contemplate, he seemed to be trying to stare down the trash can.

Caleb wanted a photo of himself with General Hooker.

And then he kept standing there staring off into the distance. Nap time? No — he claimed he just wanted a moment to think about things.

United we stand. Except in that car.
