BOSTON Part 1

Jeremy is on leave so we headed to Boston for 5 days! It took us forever to get their with the holiday traffic so we stopped half way in Stamford, Connecticut. We arrived in Boston Saturday afternoon and headed to the Red Sox game! Boston beat the Baltimore Orioles 9 to 3 so it was a great game!

Sunday we headed to the Navy Yard to see the USS Constitution come back into the harbor from doing a 21 gun salute and sailing for the holiday.

We took the ferry over to Quincy Market to eat and peeked in Faneuil Hall

We then stopped by Cheers on our way to the our fireworks stop

We found a small plot of land to claim for the fireworks show on the esplanade. We couldn't see the Boston Pops Orchestra and Toby Keith, but we could hear it! We had a great spot for the fireworks. It was packed down there, but we got lucky going to our hotel after the show because a bus was going directly to our stop and we got back within 30 minutes!

Beautiful sky while waiting for the fireworks!

Monday, we headed to Salem, MA to go to the Salem Witch Museum where we learned about the witch trials, then we went to the Minuteman National Historical Park and learned about the Lexington/Concord battle along the road to Boston

We headed back to Boston that night and saw a few sites in the Back Bay. Here is the Boston Public Library

coming soon...Freedom Trail, USS Constitution, Plymouth
