Hail to the Queen

This weekend Queen Elizabeth II celebrated her Diamond Jubilee.  Sixty years as reigning monarch of the United Kingdom is quite the legacy.  The historical society of Boston hosted a celebration for the Queen at the Old State House (where Britain ruled the colonies in the 1700s), and Kav and I thought we would stop by.  They had actors reciting Shakespeare, red coats with muskets and powdered white wigs, and ...... a cardboard cut out of the Queen??? Wasn't expecting that one!! The rain prompted an early end to the Jubilee, but Kavan and I enjoyed walking around the Harbor, sampling ice cream, and tourist watching. 

Hopefully next weekend I will be posting camping pictures so stay tuned :)
