Ryan and I were fortunate to get away for a few days and explore Boston! We are longing to go back and spend more time there...our goal is to rent a cottage on the cape for a week during the summer...just not this summer! We walked the Freedom Trail and learned a lot about the history of our country. We saw Paul Reveres House, learned about the lanterns that were hung during his famous ride to warn that Redcoats were coming. " one if by land, two if by sea" We saw the USS Constitution "Old Ironsides"...the oldest ship in Navy fleet! We walked to Bunker Hill.....we saw the site of the Boston Massacre ( did you know that only 5 people died?) Boston is such a great city...full of old and new. Friendly people and great food! Loved it and cant wait to go back!
The Boston skyline from Longfellow Bridge
Church downtown
The Hotel we stayed at....The Lenox! It was very nice!
an old church made of granite being retrofitted in Cambridge
Harvard Library! The banners say Truth (Veritas) in Latin
Here we are at Bunker Hill..." dont fire until you see the whites of their eyes"
This is Samuel Adams......also a really good beer!
Got to see Paul Reveres Grave site.....did you know that Paul Revere was not his birth name? It was some french name....I cant remember. Did you know that he had 16 kids! 16...thats a alot!
I LOVE the red bricks all over Boston....it is so beautiful!
This is a statue of George Washington...it is said that when a horse had one foot up (like the stautue) it was signify that there was man down....interesting!
Benjamin Franklin's family grave
Ryan ....thinking in front of the Harvard Philosophy Building!
Smart Harvard squirrel!
