A Day in Boston


This was a street that Paul Revere walked down. It's now called an alley. I love the cobblestone roads everywhere.

Paul Revere's home.

Some random statue that we thought we should let Lucas sit on!

The Big Green Monster cow that was at Quincy Market.

On Saturday we went to Boston to see the sites. I can't believe how far we walked. People in Boston walk everywhere since there are hardly any places to park. What's funny is that they walk right in front of cars! We drove by Fenway park, but didn't stop. A game was going to be starting and they were playing the Yankees! Shara and Aaron are great guides. We saw a lot of historical and not so historical things. It's a little bit to crowded for me. We walked around some of the vendors and bought us each something.

The Freedom Trail is a tour that takes you around a lot of the historical sites in Boston. Our tour guide was dressed up and told about many of the events that took place. Although it was a bit long, it was still interesting to see all of the sites. Some of the sites were the graveyard where Paul Revere, John Hancock, and Mother Goose are buried, the oldest building/road in Boston, Paul Revere's home, Boston Massacre site, etc.
