Boston Lunch Break



When I'm not chatting it up with my mom and sisters or window shopping on my lunch break I often get to people watch which is one of my favorite things to do in Boston. The kids are particularly fun. They get so excited over the smallest things and I often find myself wishing I had my nieces and nephew with me to share in the fun.

Here's just a little of what I get to enjoy on a nice summer day around noon (ish).




This is just one of the many fountains that you will always find people playing in. I say people because while they all look like children in this picture, I have quite often seen an adult or two (in their work clothes) running in and out. :)





I work right next to the aquarium where you can walk over and watch these super cute seals swimming back and forth, back and forth. I just can't figure out why they only swim upside down though. Crazy!




I live for my Lunch break! Sometimes it's the only thing that gets me through my day.

Side Note: The day I took these pictures was a particularly funny day. I was on the phone with my mom, standing on the grass just out from the water fountain. As soon as I hung up the phone and started to pull out my camera the sprinklers came on and shot me right in the leg. I was so confused for a minute that I just stood there. Then, realizing that yes I was in fact getting wet, I jumped in the air and took off running for the pavement. A business man walking by saw the whole thing and was laughing so hard I thought he was going to fall over. I think it's safe to say I made his day.
