Boston Day 4

Boston is a walking town--which is awesome!  Most things you want to see you can walk to and Saturday was our walking day!

We headed out first thing to get as much in as we could.  We aimed to hit Fennway Park FIRST THING but didn't quite make the earliest tour, so we bought tickets and looped back to see the Mapporium (no picures allowed) which was cool, it's a stained glass globe made "to scale" that you can walk through.

So then on to Fennway!  Stephen was real excited about this place and really enjoyed the tour.  I would have like to attend a game, but he'd been to a game here not too long ago on a business trip and wanted to see the tour so.....here we are up by "The BIG GREEN MONSTA"

Then a quick stop by on of the oldest operating and busiest Fire Stations in Boston (pointed out to us by on the Duck Tour) where we got Sam a t-shirt.

Then in the afternoon we took the "Freedom Tour", a well known self guided walking tour throughout the historical sites of Boston.  This was really cool, we took more pictures than I care to upload but highlights included Paul Revere's grave & home, church where the lanterns were hung (one if by land, two if by sea), USS Constitution, and Bunker Hill.

Just as I adored all the old colonial homes in the country, I also was thrilled with the beauty of Boston and was grateful to all the efforts by historical societies to keep true to the cities unique colonial roots.  3 story brownstones, smaller doors and windows, lots of character and just beautiful!

Dinner that night was DELICIOUS with Joseph & Liz at an Italian restaurant near Joseph's apartment (made up for the disappointing Chatham's Bar Inn).
