Saturday morning began bright and early....minus the bright. In actuality, the day began with lots of clouds and a steady drizzle, but it turned out to be somewhat advantageous. We had the city almost entirely to ourselves and were able to take in the sights without almost no distractions....it's the only way to see a historic graveyard! We walked the entire Freedom Trail, and then some, and it was by far one the the most memorable parts of my time in Boston. For anyone who hasn't had the pleasure of experiencing it, the Freedom Trail is essentially a fool-proof avenue to see most of the great historic sights. I say it's fool-proof because it is marked by a big red line on the sidewalk that snakes through the city. You literally just follow the red line! How great is that?
We wrapped up the morning and our expedition with a heavenly brunch--I had some of the best eggs Benedict of my life--and then headed to the Copley Square and the exquisite Boston Public Library. (More pictures soon to follow!!) Hope you enjoy the bits of the Freedom Trail I was fortunate enough to capture, and let me know what you think!
Shelby is quite the fan of mac n' cheese.
Quick, Whitney! Look like a lobster!
Our explorations brought us to the USS Constitution, Old Ironside.
The above gravestone belongs to the woman thought to have inspired Hawthorne's "The Scarlet Letter".
Shelby and our cousin Katie, who lives in Boston--LUCKY!!
Memorial for the men and women who have died in the war in Iraq. So many dog tags. So grateful for their sacrifice.
Captured this in honor of my amazing mama, whose name just happens to be Kitty!
