Boston - Fri.

My buddy Seth got married this past weekend in Boston and asked me to be a groomsman.  My dad and Jay graciously watched the girls so Bobbins and I could have a nice trip away.  We left Thurs. morning, stopping in Philly and getting weather delayed.  Seth picked us up and dropped us at our hotel right in downtown, just steps from the Freedom Trail and Boston Common.  Although pricey, the location was worth it.  It was also one of the wedding hotels, so transportation to the church and the reception was taken care of.

Fri. morning we slept in.  We managed in a queen size but missed our king size.










Our first stop was the Old State House, which I had missed on my previous trip to Boston in 2003.  We both enjoyed it quite a bit.  Next we walked over to the North End.  It wasn't freezing but definitely cold, with a brisk breeze.

        
 We enjoyed the leaves and colors in Revere Park.

         

Bobbins was taken by the small doors leading to the basement levels of the houses.  She was quite enamored of some of the places and would have moved in if given the opportunity.

Our last site of the day was Paul Revere's house.  A ten-year-old girl snapped this photo for us.
