It was my last day in Boston, and our last day as roomies (at least for a while), so we took a trip to the Harbor Islands. The weather was perfect. We had some time before the ferry so we wandered the North End, listened to some music in the park, stalked some fanny pack wearers, and stuck our heads in this thing.
We went to Spectacle Island first. It was kite day! We skipped the walking tour to decorate our kite.
N. was a pro kite flyer.
After crashing the kite, I gave up and took a million pictures of the skyline instead.
Then it was time for lunch! We brought a bottle of champagne that someone had given us at one of our parties. When N. opened it, the cork flew off, across the path, and landed in the bushes somewhere. We never found it.
Our classy picnic. We got a couple of looks from passerbys as we sipped champagne from a bottle covered in a bandana. But no one said anything.
We didn't have a way to close the bottle, so we took the empty wrapper from the animal crackers and tied it around the bottle with a hair band. Then we put the whole thing in a plastic bag in my backpack. It worked!
Then we went to Georges Island and took a wonderful nap on top of the fort wall. We also drank some more champagne while hiding behind a cannon. I'm pretty sure a park ranger saw us.
The ferry was confusing and super disorganized, but it worked out in the end and we made it back in time to shower, make cookies, finish packing, and tandem to Punters for my going away party.
It was almost too good of a day. I'll miss you Boston :(
