ImageLIFE IN BOSTON HAS BEEN AWESOME. ONE OF THE FIRST THINGS WE DID WAS TAKE A DUCK TOUR. THIS WAS OUR DUCK. IF YOU DON'T KNOW ABOUT THESE TOURS...YOU SHOULD. THESE VEHICLES ARE AMPHIBIOUS. THEY ARE BOTH A CAR AND A BOAT, SO WE HAD THE PLEASURE OF BEING DRIVEN AROUND DOWNTOWN AND TAKEN OUT ON THE CHARLES RIVER. WHAT A TREAT!

On day eight of our road trip we drove from Columbus to Niagara Falls. Along the way we stopped in Kirtland to check out the temple and church history sites. We were in Kirtland on Sunday morning so the temple did not open for tours until the afternoon so we were only able to walk around it. Still pretty cool. However, we were able to have quite the experience at the church history sites. We arrived about an hour before they began tours, so we just walked around by ourselves. We spent so much time doing this that we were still around when the missionaries met together at the visitors center before they began the tours. They invited us in and joined us in their prayer meeting. This was a really neat experience and everyone was so friendly with us and welcoming. That night we enjoyed walking around Niagara Falls. My first time in Canada! We loved the falls. We when down into the tunnels behind the falls and were able to get really close.....and wet. This was so much fun and such a beautiful sight. What a great way to finish off our road trip. Day 9 was the day we made it into Cambridge. Our journey here was great, and life in Boston has only gotten better. We LOVE Boston.
