Trip into Boston - Freedom Trail - Part II

We then crossed over into Charlestown to see the USS Constitution. We walked onboard the ship - the Navy sailors were just leaving so we got to see them line up at the end of day. They look so cute in their whites! Afterwards, we checked out the museum - it's very hands-on and was a ton of fun!

The Bunker Hill Monument was closed for the summer for renovations so we didn't check it out. We took the ferry back to Boston which was a very scenic 15 minute boat trip that drops you off in front of the New England Aquarium.

As you can see from the pictures, it was an absolutely beautiful day to go into Boston and enjoy a little history. I highly recommend that folks check out the Freedom Trail. Most of the stops are free or a request for donations.
