Boston Week! Day 2

Freedom Trail


Another really nice day of sun and fun. We took the T to downtown Boston and walked the freedom trail for a few hours. The freedom trail is an amazing collection of historic sights in Boston. From the old North church to the sight of the Boston massacre. The sights were amazing and the history was very fascinating. We were also able to see the rest of downtown while on our walk on the freedom trail. 

For those that don't know the "T" is basically the name for Bostons subway. Ridding the T is always a fun experience but the system can get confusing. The Green line splits into 3 different directions and it is very easy to get on the wrong train. The different halls and stairs that lead to other stops and up to the street can also be very confusing because you have stairs going to other platforms, back to the same one, and up to the street. Even with all of that its a great experience ridding the T.

Some of the sights I went to:

State House
John Hancocks grave

Paul Reveres grave

Old south meeting house

Sight of the Boston Massacre

Fanueil Hall


Fenway Park


After seeing downtown Boston we headed over to Fenway park to see a Red Socks game. The stadium is one of the greatest in the country and is full of history. The game was a lot of fun. We got to see the culture of the sport in Boston and what its like when hundreds of people are waiting to get in. All of the food sold there looked and smelled amazing. The weather was perfect and it made watching the game even better. The Soxs ended up losing but I still had a great time and got two see watch to drunk guys fighting.

Day two ended great and the hole day was a lot of fun. I love learning more about the city and I am loving this weather. Cant wait for day 3!
