We're Back

What a whirlwind tour of New England that turned out to be. We had a great time, saw a ton of stuff, and ate well. Happily, we are all safe and sound back at home. I will report in chunks because I probably won't be able to do it all in one sitting.

The first day was Boston. We never did get the stroller rental figured out, so we ended up doing the trolley tour to save our feet and our ears (from all the whining). We started at Faneuil Hall and picked up the Liberty Trail from there. We saw Paul Revere's house and saw a play done by "his wife" there, the Old North Church (1 if by land, 2 if by sea), Boston Harbor, etc. We spent quite a bit of time in the Public Garden. We had planned to ride the swan boats, but unfortunately they had already closed for the season. Bummer! But we did find Mrs. Mallard and her ducklings. The kids had a much better time there than anywhere else and couldn't figure out why we were traipsing all over Boston. They just weren't very excited about US history sites.
