Wompatuck, what a fun word to say! Wompatuck State Park is a very pretty park and campground right there in the middle of Hingham, MA. You would never know you were in the middle of a city but it's convenient when you need to run to the store for something. We arrived at Wompatuck shortly after leaving P-Town. The lady that worked at the campground was not the happiest person we've met this trip but hey... We are in Boston :) Since we need electric and we are out of staters we needed more cash than we thought for 2 nights. We decided to pay for 1 night, drove to look at the campsite and then left to quickly grab more cash. An hour and half later we had more cash. It was one of those times where your updated GPS keeps taking you to random places saying it's a real store and then it's a dumpy gas station. Once we got back to the campground we set everything up and it was strictly relaxation from there. That night we had steak, mashed potatoes and green beans! High living right there :) We sat around the campfire as I read the book "On Rabbit Trails and Bear Hunts". It's a good one if you want a good read.

| Enjoying the Ferry ride |
The next morning we made our way to the ferry with 12 minutes to spare before it departed. We love riding on ferries. The wind, the water, the boat and just knowing you're going somewhere by boat is a fun time. The ferry arrives right into downtown Boston so we went straight for
Quincey Market, one of the best parts of Boston. We started our day of grazing at the Bagel stop at the end of the Market. There was a man gracing everyone with his terrible piano skills in the main eating area so it entices you to get out there and see all the great things Boston has to offer.
We got a stamp for Solomon's passport and a patch from Faneuil Hall, walked to the
Commons and sat in the Gardens watching squirrels run around. The weather was really amazing. No humidity, just a slight chill and clear skies all day long. We walked back to Quincey by way of China Town to get some lunch. We already knew what we wanted and that was lobster mac and cheese for me and a lobster roll for Christopher. Man do they know how to make some good food! We walked through a huge farmers market and sat at the end watching people take dance lessons with Let's Dance Boston. They had a full orchestra that we thoroughly enjoyed listening to as they played swing music. We also stopped to watch the group of street performers by Faneuil Hall who do dance tricks and jump over a bunch of people, eventually, at the end of their funny show. Our final destination before boarding the ferry back to Hingham was at Quincey Market for some bacon wrapped scallops where we relaxed and watched the people go by.
We enjoyed our day in Boston and headed back to the campground for round two of the campfire and our book.
The next morning we headed out for Niagara Falls, ON. We did the Niagara Falls experience on the New York side in 2012 and it was fine. Not somewhere we majorly suggest but if you wanna see the falls then go see it by all means. We were really looking forward to staying on the Ontario side because we've heard it's much cleaner and has better views. Well... do we have a story for you! On our next post :)
