In October Brendan and I took our first trip without the kids, and it was wonderful! We had so much fun together, and it was so easy to get around and do things we wanted to do. As much as we love traveling with our kids and making memories, it is a lot of work and can be exhausting. Brendan's parents were nice and watched the kids for us, which I know was a lot of work, but the kids love them and had fun.
We flew into Boston and had a rental car and traveled around New England for 5 days. It was beautiful, and we loved every place we visited. Boston was such a cool city. We walked around Harvard's campus, and walked the freedom trail which brought us through downtown and to 16 historic sites.
We used airbnb to book all of our lodging for this trip, and it was a great experience. This is the house we stayed at in Boston.
Harvard Campus
The Old North Church was beautiful and is still used today, but it is famous for signaling Paul Revere's night ride. I had never seen box pews before and thought they were very interesting. Families would buy or rent them and that was the only way you could attend this church and they could be pretty pricey. The boxes helped to keep the cold drafts out.
Captain Jackson's Chocolate Shop and the Print Shop of Edes and Gill.
Mike's Pastry shop is famous and along the way of the trail. We waited in line and when we got up to order realized you had to have cash only. We were going to come back later after getting cash, but didn't have time because the line was three times as long. At least I got some pretty pictures of some sweets. Maybe next time.
You can see the Bunker Hill Memorial in the back.
