Bean Town

Tuesday was our last official day in Boston, since Will and I flew out at 6:00am the next morning, so we decided to go and see the city. Blaine and I had been to Boston a couple of times when we lived in New Hampshire, but it had been awhile.


The morning started off again with Peggy, Jeff, Will and I since Blaine had to head back to Concord, NH to take his last final and Roger had to work. We started off at Quincy market where we got lunch, then we were off to see the USS Constitution and Bunker Hill.

Late afternoon, Blaine was able to join us. Peggy and Roger graciously volunteered to babysit Will which Blaine and I took advantage of. We spent the rest of the afternoon and early evening going through the rest of the Freedom Trail. We got to see sight such as the North Church, Paul Revere's home and other places that are famous in American History.

After walking for what felt like about 20 miles (it was probably only about 2-3) we decided to eat an early dinner at the Bull and Finch. For those of you who don't know, this is where the TV show "Cheers" was filmed, well at least the outside of it. Neither Blaine and I are crazy fans of the show (not that we didn't watch it, just not everyday), but we did enjoy some of the food.

We had a great visit to Boston and appreciate Peggy and Roger for letting us stay and being great hosts. We look forward to coming back sometime.
