A while ago Design Mom started a column on her blog about loving where you live. I decided that’s a good idea. In the past 4 years we have lived in 5 states and visited a few others. We figured we would be in each place for a while and would have plenty of time to see things. But we never got around to seeing more than the one or two main touristy things in the area. So I’m going to join Design Mom in the quest of loving and learning about where I live and visit.
When I found out that my husband was being transferred for work causing us to move again just 5 days after I unpacked the final box from our last move you think I would be more upset than I was. Well, I was pretty livid until I found out where we were headed - Boston Massachusetts.
You see, I'm a huge history buff. Especially for Revolutionary history. We even named our daughter Abigail after Abigail Adams. I have wanted to visit her my entire life and now I was moving there! I was pretty dang excited about it.
One of our first excursions we took when we had a free weekend was to hit up the Freedom Trail in downtown Boston. We decided to start at the end of the trail at Bunker Hill in Charlestown (they have free street parking there) then walked the trail backwards toward the city center. Here's the Instagram pictures I took of our trip.
Our 1st stop: Bunker Hill Monument
2nd stop: USS Constitution
3rd stop: Copp's Hill Burying Ground - That headstone is from 1661.
4th stop: Old North Church - There were two lanterns in case you forgot.
5th stop: Paul Revere's house.
And here is where Abbi lost it. It was SOOO hot and humid and we had been walking for ever so I don't blame her. We were going to turn around and head back to the car when we noticed the splash pads on the Greenway. So we decided to let Abbi run around in them for a while first - clothes and all.
We finally dragged her away (she wasn't very happy about it - as you can see on the right :) ). She fell asleep in the stroller on the walk back to the car. Poor kid. We plan on getting to the rest of the trail before summer is out. So be watching for part 2 soon :).
