Boston Day 2

On day 2 in Boston, we were surprised to wake up and not see rain falling down. We made sure to take full advantage of the day, and spent the day walking around the whole city (seriously, I think we walked 7-8 miles). Justin's sister Natalie, our nieces Alex and Demi, and nephew Hunter joined us for a day in the city. We walked the whole Freedom Trail, a red brick path through downtown Boston that leads to 16 historic sites. It was so fun to spend the day together, and we we able to see so much of Boston. The kids did a great job walking around all day!

Justin and Demi - There is nothing special about this fountain, Demi just really wanted her picture with it. Kids are so funny.

Granary Burying Ground, where several famous people were buried such as Samuel Adams and Benjamin Franklin

Gold-painted woman entertaining on the street near Quincy Market. I think that was Demi's favorite part of the whole day!

The final stop of the day, Bunker Hill Monument.

Well, that sums about our day of walking the Freedom Trail. There were several more historical stops as well as food and ice cream stops, but you get the idea!

That night we met up with my friend Allyson. Allyson and I met in London 5 years ago when we studied there for a semester. We hadn't seen each other in 3 years so it was great to catch up. I think I must have been so excited to see her that I completely forgot to take any pictures! We ate a fabulous dinner at the Beacon Hill Bistro (my favorite meal, I think) and chatted over several glasses of wine. Another good night!
