So finally Chris and I got to go explore the Boston area! We lucked out with a BEAUTIFUL day and some sweet tickets from his cousin to the Notre Dame vs. Boston College game! But before those festivities we ventured out down the Freedom Trail that runs all though Boston and takes you by a ton of famous landmarks like the site of the Boston Massacre and Paul Revere's grave, etc. We didn't walk the whole trail because our ADHD caught up with us and we eventually ventured to some other random parts of the city like the aquarium and some random park with a sweet fountain and kids just dying to run through it like it was a sprinkler!! But the portion that we did walk was really fun and made for a great history lesson on a Saturday afternoon! Here are some of my favorite pictures!
This is the Massachusetts State House
This is the grave of Samuel Adams
The grave yard that members of the Boston Massacre are buried along with Benjamin Franklin's parents, Paul Revere, Mother Goose, and a bunch of others
Paul Revere's grave
Mother Goose (pretty sure they just say that because this woman's last name was Goose)
This is the Old Meeting House where the constitution was read to the public for the first time and this is also the site of the Boston Mas acre
Off the Freedom Trail now and by the ocean...
The boat we will be on someday to go whale watching!!!!
Notre Dame vs. Boston College Game....Go Irish!!!
So that was our adventure!!! Tons of fun and definitely so much left unexplored!!! Much more to come!!!!
