Saturday 4/10




Once again we woke up early, packed up the car (by now we were able to do it in record timing) and drove to Boston.

In Boston we parked near Bunker Hill and walked to Freedom Trail.

 For those of you who have no idea what the Freedom Trail is: It's a trail marked by gold bricks in the sidewalk which goes through the entire town leading to all of the Historically significant areas. WAY COOL and very informative and fun. There was a company that gave tours, but those cost money so we toured ourselves, but we did somewhat follow one tour guide. He was tall, big , black, loud and funny! He made alot of points about the history which made it more real. He didn't sugar coat anything, which often people do when talking about American History.






















The last part of the Freedom Trail we saw was the USS Constitution.

The day had been going perfectly until Mom fell down. I don't remember exactly what happened, but I just remember looking back and Mom not being on her feet. After a minute of resting she was the tough cookie that she is and continued on. I love my Momma!  

            Haha This Cracked the WHOLE Family up... This is how we entertained ourselves for the half an hour wait to tour the ship... O man it was funny

After the USS Constitution the family decided(everyone but Michelle) that it would be ridiculous to be in Boston and not get Claw Chowder so we asked around for the best place to go and were referred to the Warren Tavern.

This place is OLD!There are records saying some of the Revolution Leaders ate and talked there! CRAZY!

So we found this outside an Ice Cream Shop along the Freedom Trail and it fit us PERFECTLY so we made sure to get a picture. If we had a photo album of the trip THIS would be the cover :)


After Chowder we walked back to the car and then drove, getting to Palmyra New York at 12:30 am.
