My dad had some lectures in Boston and my mom and I tagged along. We left Thursday 24th and came home Monday the 28th. My dad only had lectures on Friday for two hours so the rest of the time was spent just playing in Boston.
We got to go on "Old Ironsides" the USS Constitution. It is still an active war ship today. One of the levels of the ship was really low and we had to duck really low. It was one of my favorite things that we did in Boston. (hence all the photos of it)
We went to Georgetown Cupcakes. This is one of the many locations. The main one is in DC and was on TLC's DC Cupcakes. When I found out they had a location in Boston I wanted to go. They are some pretty good cupcakes. I had a red velvet cupcake.
We also went into Paul Revere's home. He and his first wife had eight children. She did while giving birth to the 8th. He then remarried and he and his second wife had 8 children. He had 16 children in this house. I am not sure how they all fit (there may have been some rooms we couldn't go into in the loft).
As it was the World Series while we were there most of the statues were wearing Boston Red Sock uniforms and beards. This is the statue of Paul Revere.
This is the Holocaust Monument. It is in the middle of the street. It has thousands of names etched on it. I believe it has vents from the subway under each one that when it is cold outside the heat fogs them up(don't quote me on the subway being under it.)
This is the Trinity Church that is located near Copley Square. It is a beautiful old church. It has the most amazing stain glass windows. They have one of Christ's resurrection that is amazing. From the outside I think it looks like it could be a really old mansion.
