Boston!

Our trip to Boston at the end of July was a great success! You may have heard that some pretty big stuff went down in Boston at one time. No, not the Red Sox winning the World Series. I'm talking bigger and longer ago. Our first day in town we checked out the Freedom Trail. You can tour it from the perspective of the American Revolution or the Civil War. We mostly stuck with the American Revolution sites. While I walked the breast cancer 3-day my boys went to the children's museum (which was a huge hit!) and Boston Common and the Public Gardens (for $2.75 the Swan Boats are a must!). All in all it was a great little trip and I would love to go back when I don't have a 60 mile walk to do in the middle!

Pennies on top of Paul Revere's Grave (he was a coppersmith, too)

Sam Adams grave. He did more than brew beer!
