Today we headed to the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, which has a great collection and some fabulous exhibits.  Their entire collection can be found on their website, but here are a few of my favorites…

Psst… giant baby heads are good at keeping secrets.

Norman Rockwell–New Kids in the Neighborhood (1967)

Jackson Pollock–Number 10 (1949)

Winslow Homer–Gloucester, Mackerel Fleet at Dawn (1884)  (and Jason’s favorite)

Louis Comfort Tiffany–Parakeets and Gold Fish Bowl (about 1893)

John La Farge–Butterflies and Foliage (1889)

Does that last miniature look familiar?  Do you remember that boat from somewhere else?…  Okay so it’s the USS Constitution (which Jason and I checked out yesterday).  Here’s what we must have looked like on the ship:

They had a great map on display of the “plan” for Boston in 1769:

After a day at the museum, we did something SUPER touristy.  We got on a duck boat and took a tour of Boston.  And you know what?  It was awesome.

I took this picture in the reflection of the John Hancock Tower.  It’s like a Where’s Waldo of dorky tourists.  Quack quack!

We capped off the day at Citizen Public House, a gastropub.  If you have a party of 10, you can order a whole roast suckling pig with all the trimmings.  We settled for a beer and the Nantucket blue fish with old bay johnny cakes.  Delish!
