Today we hit the Freedom Trail which connects the historical sites throughout Boston's downtown area. We visited the Boston State Capitol and walked around a bit, visited Paul Revere's House, Faneuil Hall, Old North Church. This is one of my favorite pictures, with the kids posing like the statue of Samuel Adams in front of Faneuil Hall. They said they would die of embarrassment if I used it as the Christmas card picture.
Andy, B and E climbed up the steps to the top of the Bunker Hill Monument. Here's B after the climb:
I had to lie down on the ground in order to get Andy, E and B in the photo with the top of the monument. They all thought that was pretty funny. I did get a few weird looks, but then I noticed other people doing it too. Hmm.
We took the T out to Harvard and walked around there. L bought a hot pink (suprise!) hooded Harvard sweatshirt. We had lunch at Mr. Bartley's Burger Cottage, apparently a Harvard landmark. Who knew? Both the Wall Street Journal and the Boston Globe named the restaurant's burgers the best in the nation. I wouldn't necessarily agree with that, but they were good. Here we are at the Burger Cottage:
We also visited MIT and walked around on campus a bit until it started to rain. Then it was back on the T. Oh, and today was L's 9th birthday!!
