Boston

We complete our trip by finishing in bean town, Boston! We decided to take a trolley around the town to soak up a little of the history and to help us decide where we might want to tour later in the day. The trolly guides are a riot, bad jokes and all, and a wealth of information, even if their facts don't always agree.
Freedom Trail

After the trolley, we decided to visit Paul Revere's house. After taking a quick moment to cross the street to take a picture we decided to go in, however, a High School field trip arrived and jumped in front of us... So much for visiting Mr. Revere!

We then decided to follow the Freedom Trail to the Old North Church (yes, of Paul Revere fame). This is a neat Church that shows how it was to worship before central heat! The pews are actually boxes that the members owned and brought heated bricks from home to keep them warm during the service.

Following the Church, we hopped the trolley over to Fanieul Hall, and central Boston. Here, Mr. Fox had his picture taken at the start of the Freedom Trail.

We finally made our way back to Mr. Revere's house and took our tour, sans loud High School kiddies.

After a nice lunch together in the basement of Quincy Market, we went back to the hotel, fetched the trusty jeep (oops, I forgot to take a pic), and headed to the airport.

A great weekend with Mr. Fox and my wonderful wife.
