A Busy Day





We had to get up early to meet Steve our tour guide in Boston at 7:15. The day started out with a tour of Fenway Park.




















After Fenway we took the bus to the Freedom Trail where we stopped in front of Paul Revere's House for a group photo.















After lunch we drove out to Chestnut Hill for a tour of Boston College.
















The group grew tired as we returned to Boston to tour the U.S. Constitution. We were behind schedule so we missed the organized tour but did a quick walk through of the historic ship.














We then headed over to The Spirit of Boston for a two hour dinner cruise. We had a clear night for some great views of Boston.

In Boston

Everyone was at the airport on time and after a delay of about 45 minutes the fight left for Boston. The flight was uneventful other than a few unfriendly flight attendants and the captain leaving the seat belt sign on for long periods of time, causing a rush for the restrooms when it finally went off.

After landing in Boston the baggage arrived quickly and everyone retrieved their bags. We boarded our charter bus for dinner at the Hard Rock Cafe and then spent an hour at Quincy Market for some quick shopping.

The bus has brought the group to the hotel where everyone has settled in for the night. We get started early at 7:15 tomorrow morning.
