Boston

Now to finally finish up our vacation!! On to Boston!

So after we left New York City we drove up to Boston to explore for the day. Erin, who used to live in Boston, told us exactly what to do so we were able to see most of the city in one day. We parked outside of the city and then road the subway into downtown. Once downtown we picked up the Freedom Trail and followed it around the city to various historic sites.

This is the Old State House where the Declaration of Independence was first read from the balcony.

This is the steeple to the Old North Church, where lanterns were hung to alert Paul Revere as to if the Red Coats were coming by land or by water. Pretty cool!

This the USS Constitution, aka "Old Ironsides" from the War of 1812. Its still in active service for the Navy today.

And of course, we can't go anywhere without checking out the local Coast Guard Station, so here are some boats moored up at the Boston CG station. They were A LOT bigger than Garin's boats at Emerald Isle!!

We both really enjoyed Boston. I hope to be able to go back sometime and spend some more time there! We spent the night in Boston and then got up the next day and headed down to New London, CT. That afternoon we took a tour of the US Coast Guard Academy and explored the little town. The next day we hung out together in the morning and then prepared for me to leave on the train that afternoon. It was a tough day.

So that's our vacation. I hope you enjoyed it :)
