Boston: Bunker Hill

I woke the parents up early the next day.  Good thing too, 'cause they probably would have slept until 6:30 or so.  Can you imagine wasting that kind of time sleeping?  When we could be discovering Boston?  SHEESH!  They already had at least 3 hours.  What more do they need?  Come on!

First that dad found a Dunkin' Donuts.  He has the amazing talent to find those where ever he goes.

Then we were off to Boston.

Mama took pictures of the view from the road.

We made it to our first stop, and after some masterful parallel parking by that dad...

Bunker Hill

The first major battle of the Revolutionary War!

We met Colonel William Prescott

That dad took some pictures of the historical markers

Col. Prescott's orders were to fortify Bunker's Hill, but he chose Breed's hill instead.

But really, what's in a name...?

There's me and mama by that big building!  And, yes, that's my stroller to the left....

It's official, Bunker Hill is registered as a national historic landmark!  That happened a long long time ago.  1962.  Back when that dad was born... a LONG LONG time ago....

While drinking my milk, I pondered what I learned about Bunker's Hill.  We lost the battle but it showed the determination of the colonists.  Pretty cool.  I also continued to ponder on how that dad fit our big van into that little parking space.   Ah, the mysteries of life....

Then a nice lady volunteered to take a picture of the whole family. Mama was the only one happy about it.  I had to stop my bottle and that dad, well, you know that dad....

Mama laid on the grass to take this one of the monument.  Apparently you can climb to the top, but mama thought it would not be wise with a 26 pound baby in arms.  Sigh.... 

Then mama went across the street to the museum.  She was actually looking for a rest room, but it was a neat place.  She loved the architecture!

Here's the view from the museum.  Pretty nice.

That was our first Freedom Trail marker.  One down, so many to go.

I think the parents would have lingered, but I wanted to see more!  

Let's go, let's go, LET'S GO!
