Boston

Trevor, Rylee, and Sam stand in front of the U.S.S. Constitution in its home port, Boston. This is the oldest battleship in the world still afloat, and it was undefeated with a record of 33-0. This was a great tour.

Sam listens intently to the Park Ranger telling about the Battle of Bunker Hill. There are a couple of monuments in the background in memorial of this battle.

These are a few very old graves at the cemetery. The graves were pretty readable, especially for some being 300+ years old. There is a Captain's gravestone from the 1700s in the cemetery that has marks from the British shooting muskets at it as an act of disrespect.

This is a view of Boston from the top of Bunker Hill Monument. A few of us may have sore legs from climbing the 297 steps.

We had a great time in Boston today. We visited a few historical sites and it was very nice weather to walk around in- upper sixties to lower seventies. We saw the U.S.S. Constitution, Bunker Hill, and a very old cemetery. We got around by following the red "Freedom Trail" and taking the Old Town Trolley. The U.S.S. Constitution was amazing, and Sam was happy to see Bunker Hill; he is into the Revolutionary War stuff right now. To his dismay, there was no battle going on. He showed up 234 years late. The cemetery we went to had gravestones dating back to the 1600s. After a quick train ride, we are in Ogunquit, Maine. We will be here for three nights, so we plan to just relax here on the Atlantic Coast. Everyone is very excited for the beach!
