John Adams Home

Learned: There are trees EVERYWHERE!

  

Stoughton, MA

Learned: I love the style of the homes!!! Honestly I would pick one of these houses for my own if I could!

Ponkapoag Lake in Stoughton MA

Learned: The water in this lake makes you orange.

Fort Independence in Quincy MA

Learned: The Fort unfortunately is only open to public on Thursdays, we were there on a Tuesday... 

China Town

Learned: Crazy Bostonian Police Women are scary! Especially if you are Jason Gibson and you drive on a road meant only for pedestrians and then try and park too close to a fire hydrant.

Day 2

The Freedom Trail in Downtown Boston

Learned: The Freedom Trail is truly a trail, a red line in the road/sidewalk that goes throughout the city, you just follow it. Oh and Russell looks really good in fluorescent yellow!

Cheers Bar

Learned: Nobody knew my name...

Do you know the answers to these trivia questions? If you do then good for you! 

An old cemetery on the Freedom Trail

Learned: Benjamin Franklins parents were buried here along with, John Hancock, Paul Revere and Mother Goose?

Feneuil Hall and Quincy Market

Learned: There is a second Cheers, Lobster Rolls and Lobster Bisque are as good as they sound and Toasted Coconut soft serve ice cream is A-mazing especially in a chocolate covered, pink sprinkled, mini M&M filled waffle bowl. ;)

The Old State House

Learned: The Declaration of Independence was read from the balcony.

 The Wharf

Learned: There are mansion yachts and I would like to live in one.

The Holocaust Memorial

Learned: Each one of those numbers represents someone killed in the holocaust, the columns represent the smoke stacks at the concentration camps that have hot steam coming up through the center from grates in the ground.

Mike's Pastries

Learned: It's a pretty famous place though I had never heard of it, they only take cash but their Boston Cream Pie and Canoli's are delicious! Russell agrees.

Paul Revere Monument, USS Constitution and Bunker Hill Monument

Learned: The USS Constitution has too much security to go through especially when Leslie doesn't have an ID, the Bunker Hill Monument is way too far to walk after walking the Freedom Trail for 5 hours and is best seen from afar. :)

Boston Burger Co. 

Learned: My "Hot Mess" burger I ordered had been featured on Rachael Ray. It was superb!

The Beach in Quincy

Learned: Russell LOVES the sand! He also likes to pick up rocks.

 Boston City Building Lights

Learned: Hard to capture without a tripod especially while nursing a baby. :)
