Rhode Island & Boston day 3&4

Wednesday morning we just slept in after a long drive home from New York. That day we just kind of hung out around the house. We ventured out to of course find a Harley store for my dad. We found this really cool one in Rhode Island and I was able to get some prizes! Thursday we got up early and got the kids off to school and then we headed to Boston which was only an hour and a half drive. I LOVED Boston!! I thought it was so pretty there. We started off the day going on the Freedom Trail which took us to all the big highlights in town. This was our funny tour guide :)We saw where John Hancock, Paul Revere, Samual Adams, and James Otis were all buried. We also saw a lot of cool old churches. We then finished where the Boston Massacre was and where they read the Declaration of Independence. Then we went and had lunch at the commons where they had tons of different kinds of food from Indian to philly steak to pizza to clam chowder! After that we stopped by the Cheers gift shop to get some more prizes! After that we headed up to Paul Reveres house and saw a mobster on the way hanging out at an Italian resturant :) Then we followed the trail to the USS Constitution. After that we had a long hike back to the car. After we got to the car we headed to Harvard Campus. It was really fun to go walk around the campus/little town. On our way home we stopped at the real Cheers and checked it out.
I will finish the rest of the trip this weekend :)

This looks like so much fun! I would LOVE to go back there. Too bad I know I'd have to take my husband kicking and screaming. Maybe once I'm done having kids I can hitch a ride with Colette! ;)
