I think the GPS might have forgotten where we're going...

Well...here was our trip to the Harbor...isn't it BEAUTIFUL??? Haha...we tried and it was an adventure. It was sprinkling and we decided to try to go anyway and take Penske the dog and by the time we got in the car it was pouring and poor Penske never made it out of the back seat...so much for the exercise.

I have never seen roads quite like Boston...not a straight one in the city...there are all kinds of forks and 3 way forks and crazy turns and roundabouts. So needless to say we made lots of wrong turns and Serena the GPS did lots of recalculations for us, but we made it to Pleasure Bay which turns out is a beach and park area. This is the picture...we could smell the ocean even though we couldn't see it real well! Then we went looking for Christopher Columbus Park which it turns out is in downtown Boston close to the Freedom Trail that we did yesterday. It was a very cool area and probably even better in the sunshine...but we had fun anyway!

There's the Atlantic Ocean...okay...maybe a Harbor, I'm not exactly sure.

Here is the church and the tower where the lanterns were lit to warn of the British coming. It is also the oldest standing church in Boston. Paul Revere gets all the credit for it, but in actuality, Robert Newman was the one who climbed the tower and lit the lanterns while John Pulling locked the door behind him and guarded the door. I found that interesting since all growing up I learned it was Paul Revere. Paul was actually a well known and trusted messenger who spread the word of the British coming to town. He actually wasn't known for his midnight ride until Henry Longfellow wrote the famous poem about him in 1860.

Here is the picture of John Harvard and his shiny toe. I'll have good luck for a year now...I can sure use that with all these life changes coming up :)

This is the Harvard Law Library, I thought it was just so beautiful and grand!

Okay, just a few picture highlights of the trip that I know I mentioned in previous posts. I have loved Boston and have had excellent tour guides...I feel like I've seen so much in the city! I'm off bright and early to Baltimore tomorrow morning...updates later!

Take Care!
