Faneuil Hall

After a long post-aquarium nap, we were geared up for another family adventure -- dinner and people-watching in Faneuil Hall Marketplace. Daddy wanted to try his hand at waving down cabs, so we treated the babies to their first-ever taxi ride. This was particularly amusing because we had no idea how to pronounce "Faneuil". Apparently we slept a lot during high school American History, because I now know that Faneuil Hall is pretty famous, the site of enough inflammatory pre-revolutionary speeches back in the day to have earned the title "Cradle of Liberty".





Nowadays it's more like the Cradle of Shopping. Pretty much anything you could ever desire to buy, you could, from three historic marketplace buildings repurposed into indoor/outdoor malls.



Okay, well, it's also the Cradle of Statues and Plaques. Isaac was fond of posing next to these. Here he is with a suave-looking, if unnamed, metal dude.



All three boys with THE Celtics coach, the late great Red Auerbach.



Next to Red we found some big shoes for Jacob to try on, shoes from another guy with Indiana roots.





Just a few more years, Baby Shaq.
