Up early - much to Katie's chagrin, and headed out to Boston and the Freedom Trail. We thought we were being wise by getting started early in the morning but it backfired on us because we got caught in morning rush hour traffic. Although it wasn't as bad as you might think as we did get to travel through the tunnel created by the "big dig."
Once we arrived, we went in search of a walking trail map. A very nice park ranger helped us to the Visitor Center, a feat not as easy as it sounds as Boston Commons was packed with all the Outside the Box activities that were starting this week. Once we purchased our walking map, we started up the hill and began to melt! Since we decided we had much to do today and didn't have time to melt, we quickly regrouped and decided that a "off and on" trolley tour might be the way to go. So, back to the visitor center to purchase our tickets for the trolley. We were so thrilled with the decision, the open air trolley was the perfect way to see the city. We drove around and hopped off to see the North Church and Paul Revere's house. The funniest thing happened while we were touring Paul Revere's house, we ran right into the Massie family - friends from Lexington! What a small world we live in. After much laughter and a few pictures, we moved on to the North Church. Katie and Aunt Becky sat in the pew that belonged to Paul Revere!
We hopped back on the trolley and finished up the tour and then walked back to our car and drove around Harvard - Katie was trying to get a preview of where she is going for Graduate School. The best advice Aunt Amy and Aunt Becky could give her was to start saving now!
After the driving tour we went back to the hotel for some swimming and to complete tonight's video. We are off to Salem tomorrow!
To all our Loyal Brown Girls followers, a very historical good night!
Jessica says, "I hope your world is full of bunnies."
