Our Trip to the Northeast Part IV: Boston

We were only on Boston one day, but it was a big one. We walked almost the entire Freedom Trail. There are 16 historical sites on the trail, and by the time we left, we had seen them all, at least briefly. Also by the end, I was completely tired, grouchy, and wanting a vacation that included sitting on the beach drinking pretty drinks. Nevertheless, we were making memories with the kids and learning about our country's history.

Notable to our day were our lunch at The Bell and Hand, which is our country's oldest tavern. It's also a restaurant and we enjoyed fish and chips with the locals. We also saw several historic churches, statues, graves, and thousands of people.

We bought the kids each a Boston cap from a street vendor. They each wore their caps every other day of vacation, prompting everyone to think we were from Boston until we opened our mouths to reveal our accents. We loved hearing all the northeasterners talk and each of us privately practiced talking without Rs and with different A sounds. We quickly realized it was easier just to talk the way we normally do.

We also met a professional photographer, who took family photos of us for free. Some of the photos below are from him.

Here's some photos from the Boston leg of our journey.
