The Locks

I discovered something recently about 10 minutes away from my house which is highly valuable--a traffic-free route across the Charles River to the North End & downtown Boston! This is like discovering the Northwest Passage in your background. There's a winding route of walkways that crosses the Charles River over a series of locks, which are opened & closed in a regulated fashion to control fish migration. Anyways, it was a rare, nice & sunny day in Boston this Saturday, so I introduced Claire & the kids to the locks as we took a walk into Boston this morning.

The entrance to the locks is tucked behind Paul Revere playground. In the background you can see the funky Bunker Hill Bridge and the Boston Garden, home of the Celtics & Bruins.
Down by the locks.
Big gear.
Facing the harbor.
Carrying Sophie and Max most of the way = good workout for Nate.
