Day 1 in Boston . . .


Great day today checking out the city! Some of the stops and sights:

1. USS Constitution (Old Ironsides) - oldest warship still afloat in the world! I was VERY into this ship - thought it was amazing that it was still around - after 210 years!

2. Bunker Hill Monument

3. King's Chapel & burial ground (very old cemetery - an original in Boston)

4. Boston Common - the oldest park in the US.

5. Old State House - and site of the Boston Massacre

6. Went to dinner in Little Italy - waited for about an hour in a line outside the restaurant - but it was GREAT!!!! It was a small little place - and very popular. Walked around after eating in Little Italy and it was hoppin' for a Saturday night! People were everywhere and they seemed to be shopping at the many pastry shops, so I had to get a chocolate cupcake! So good!
