Vancouver Island

 One of my favorite places ever; Greg's first time there. 

Whale watching:

Cathedral Grove

Butchart Garden

Weekend in Vermont

Windsor Mansion Inn, Windsor, Vermont

Mt. Ascutney

Whales

We weren't feeling hugely patriotic on July 4th so we took the opportunity to go out to sea (sort of) on a whale watching excursion that left from the Boston waterfront. Saw a couple of humpback whales who also, you know, seemed concerned by the current political climate. 

 

Boston Central Library

The Boston Public Library System was founded in 1848 and is the third largest library in the U.S. after the Library of Congress and the New York Public Library. The Central Library on Copley Square opened in 1895, and we took a tour of the building on Saturday. 

Every library should have a bar

Never would have guessed that these renaissance style murals were done by John Singer Sargent.
