The National Park Service has acquired a network of islands in the bay. One can take ferries out to the island and explore them. Many people camp there. We caught the island hopper service from Hingham out to Georges Island. We then connected to Spectacle Island on another ferry. Spectacle hosts free jazz concerts on Sunday afternoons.(pic) We settled onto deck chairs to listen to the music and eat our picnic lunch. We watched the Boston skyline fade out of view as storm clouds gathered. A huge downpour forced everyone into the visitor’s center. The lightning show was spectacular. After returning to Georges Island we explored Fort Warren.(pic) The walls are incredibly thick and there are huge cavernous rooms to explore. Just like a rabbit warren! The boys loved walking down the pitch-dark passages to see where they led. We decided that a flashlight would be a good thing to have if we ever we returned. On our return journey to Hingham the boys made friends with the captain and park ranger.(pic) I enjoyed the peace from the back of the boat.
We found a laundromat and spent an hour there before getting home to dinner. This is our first campground without laundry facilities. It rained most of the night.
