Boston

Posted on Thursday, September 24th, 2009 at 5:31 pm

Last week Steve had a work Conference in Boston. After the conference ended, I flew to Boston, so we could do a little vacationing together. It was fun! I’ve always wanted to see Boston, so I was really excited. (I love American History)

One of our favorite things was to go on the Freedom Trail. It has different points that are important to the history of our country. We took a guided tour for the first part of the Freedom Trail. It was really interesting. We learned a lot of the things they don’t teach you in school. For example, Paul Revere really wasn’t the one to announce that the British were coming. He was one of the people that started out, but he got caught by the British, so the other people he was with announced that the British were coming. Apparently Paul Revere actually ratted out all the people that were with him.

We were going to rent a car, but we decided to just use public transportation. We got pretty good at figuring out the bus and the subway…thanks to Steve’s excellent navigation skills.

We also ate at some fun places. This is at Quincy Marketplace. It is a little bit like the Food Court, but they have some good places to eat. We also went to a place that Rachel Ray supposedly recommends, Giacomo’s, and the food was DELICIOUS!! It was fun to try some new places.

Of course we had to get a picture by the Cheer’s entryway, even though we didn’t eat there.

We had a great time together! It’s always fun to get away!

    I love to play around in Boston too. Did you know that the grave site that you were at also has mother goose in it too? My family did that Freedom Trail too and you really do learn a lot of interesting things from it. I do think you were smart to just ride the bus and subway. Traffic there is crazy!
