My mom and two older sisters made a visit to Beantown this past weekend and I loved every minute of it.
We had so much fun together... I didn't want them to leave.
The good news is that I think they are sold on buying a home in Rockport, MA. ;)
In only 3.5 days we:
-walked the Freedom Trail
-did a tour of the USS Constitution
-took a ferry ride
-walked around Faneuil Hall
-saw the Holocaust Memorial
-did a duck boat tour
-ate seafood at Legal Harborside
-took a taxi ride
-walked all around Harvard University and Harvard Square
-ate lunch at Mr. Bartley's Burgers
-went to the New England Aquarium
-walked all around the North End
-ate delicious Italian food in "Little Italy"
-bought and ate several cannolis from Mike's Pastry
-ran (literally sprinted) in the pouring rain to catch our bus
-went to Boston University and bought some BU gear
-watched the rowing competitions in the Charles River
-did some shopping on Newbury Street
-toured the Boston Public Library
-purchased yummy chocolate from the Lindt store
-drove to Rockport, MA and enjoyed the beautiful, amazing little beach town
-drove to Salem and tried to find parking for over an hour
-dropped my mom and sister, Jenn off in Salem so they could take pictures of the witch statue and the Salem Witch Museum (we gave up on being able to actually walk around)
-drove to the Boston temple
-drove around Belmont, MA trying to find Mitt Romney's house (no luck unfortunately...)
On the first day they were here, we walked a total of 18,000 steps.... 18,000 people!! I was feeling it in my legs the next day.
Can't wait for their next trip to Boston! (Hint hint....)
