Boston

I've never been to Boston.

We are leaving this week for our spring vacation to Boston! We have lots we plan on doing and seeing. From the St. Patrick's Day parade, the public garden and Downtown Crossing to Fenway Park, the harbor and USS Constitution, Bunker Hill, Faneuil Hall and a Celtics game, we are excited to see all that Boston has to offer. My husband is already there doing some work. He went into Boston today. He said he was just going to try to get his bearings-finding out the subway system, finding public restrooms, and discovering the parade route. He is (supposed to!) going to wait to experience the rest of the fun til we get there!


That I'd like to see.

Freedom Trail

I've never been to the Freedom Trail.

This is a 2.5 mile walking tour of historical sites in Boston. You can go on a self-paced tour, following the red brick path and stopping at each of the landmarks, or you can go with a costumed guide who will teach you about each of the stops. Some of the landmarks require an extra admission fee, including the Old South Meeting House, the Old State House and the Paul Revere House. A good suggested beginning point for the self-guided tour is the Boston National Historical Park Visitor Center which will give you a brief introduction to the places you will visit.
