This past weekend I went on a trip to a place I'd never been before. I visited Boston, MA. I really enjoyed the trip. We did a lot but there was a lot left to do so I'm hopeful for a return visit some day with my friends that so enjoy history. This is certainly the place to be for a huge history lesson. I have posted a few photos below and because I'm BLOG CHALLENGED, the photos are in no particular order.





The one to the left is of my standing in the Boston Common. It was beautiful there. I could have spent the whole day there, reading a book and people watching.










Below (with the flag) is the Museum of Fine Arts. I enjoyed this. I'm finding that as I grow older, I have more of an appreciation for good, classic art (i.e. Monet and friends). I enjoyed this part a lot but it was very crowded and the people began to annoy me some after a bit.




Above, slightly to the right, is the gravesite of Paul Revere, Jr.



Here we have the grave site of John Hancock.












The grave site of those killed in the Boston Massacre (left) and the grave of Sam Adams (right).

In addition to visiting gravesides, shopping in the marketplace and walking around the city, we also attended the Broadway Show WICKED. It was fantastic (I'll never see the Wizard of Oz through the same eyes again). I'd say there were only two downsides to it; the first being that Boston has so much to see I wasn't able to see it all. And secondly, our plane returned later than expected lastnight. I'm feeling a little sluggish today, but thank goodness for an additional day off!
