Today I went with my dad to the Charles River near where he works in Cambridge and we went kayaking in the river for a couple of hours.
My dad had been wanting to go kayaking or canoeing because in his office at work he has this awesome view of the Charles River, and everyday he sees people either canoeing or kayaking. So, he wanted to try it for a change - instead of watching it, doing it. So he decided that he wanted to do it with our family. Unfortunately, my brother nor my mom wanted to go, so it ended up just being my dad and I.
We drove to Cambridge, and we went to the place where you start off and we were planning on getting a canoe, but the people who worked there said that since it was a little windy, the canoe would be a little tippy, so we got a 2 person kayak, which later my dad was saying would've been better anyways because in a canoe there are on benches and it is a little bit heavier, and in a 2 person kayak there is an actual seat with cushioning and its more safer.
It was really beautiful and the water was really warm about 80 degrees. We never got tired of paddling - at least I didn't I don't know about my dad because he had more work in the back. The water wasn't choppy either, which was good so sometimes we could just stop paddling and just look at the beautiful sights around us.
We also stopped in some lily pads to relax and take some pictures and videos.

Sadly, we ended up at the point where we had to turn back, but it felt so nice be right on the water and I think it was a good time and I will definitely go again.
Nice write up of a great memory Nuala!
