Boston is Known for...

As I was riding to Boston I was thinking about what Boston is known for?  I've heard about Boston Beans but never tried them since I am the picky-pickerman when it comes to eating.  I heard of the Redsox and most people either love them or hate them.  The Boston Tea Party was famous, but I learned in school that littering is bad - so pouring tea into the harbor is littering.  And Boston is full of Irish people, which is good since I am mostly Irish.  I suppose to really enjoy this aspect I need to be 17 years older so I can get loaded!

I decided to see the "Hallmark" sights of Boston and then the not so hallmark sites.


FIRST NOT SO HALLMARK BOSTON SITE
Biggest Milk Jug in the USA


That is the Hood Milk Jug.  It was super big, a real tall cow must have filled that jug up!

SECOND NOT SO HALLMARK BOSTON SITE
Super Creepy Baby Heads


Unfortunately (or maybe fortunately) the two creepy baby head statues I went to see were under construction, but I was able to get behind the curtains covering them up and get photos.  As you can see by the photos people have been trying for years to destroy these very creepy baby heads.  Now, as I understand it, an anonymous donor who likes to scare little kids with creepy baby heads is behind the repair.  I even tried to imitate one of the baby face but it was not good because I was afraid my face would freeze like that.

Weird!
Not a good impression of creepy baby head!

THIRD NOT SO HALLMARK BOSTON SITE
Children's Museum

I had been told that once you seen one Children's Museum, you've seen them all.  This is not true!  I am an old pro at Children's Museums and this one was awesome!  I went to one in NYC and the one here in Boston... and sorry, New Yorkers, your Yankees may have more Championships than the Red Sox, but your Children's museum can't hold a Bucky Dent toothpick bat to the Boston museum.

I had tons of fun.  The pictures speak for themselves.

I got to play with bubbles, water, and
"see little people in houses"
I even got to look like a VDOT (or
my new schtick - Cal Trans) worker!

I was not too thrilled with Paul Revere's house.  I'd rather have
seen Paul Thorn's house!
Next, I will discuss some of the hallmark things Boston is known for!
Also, my special guest in Boston is carolwong.  That's really her name, not "Carol" but "Carolwong."  She's cool, I can't wait until she sends me that whoopee cushion and nerd specs so that I can terrorize my mom!

I will wear these to an
Ophthalmologist conference!
I love fart noises!
Who doesn't?
