A selfie at the Harbor
The famous poem was painted down the sidewalk beside
the Harbor as we walked on our way to dinner. So neat!
Isn't Boston a pretty city?
A pretty church
A lovely brick sidewalk
There are a lot of old-looking buildings like this.
We found it! :)
Take 2
Surprisingly, nobody knew our name...
We met up with this little guy.
Exhausted from traveling!
We hoped that someone would scream "Norm!"
as we walked in. Our dreams did not come true.
This is where we had dinner with Jen & Brent.
Free cheese and crackers before dinner!
This salad was incredible!
I was testing out a few angles... hopefully one of these
will look good enough to go behind our bar!
American classic
One more angle, for good measure
In TV fan paradise! He was pretty excited. :)
We went to the "set bar," which was staged pretty much
like the TV show. The other bar (with the Cheers door)
that it looks like they walk into is not, in fact, anything
like the Cheers bar on the show. It's just the door.
Sitting on the "extras" side
Soon we got to sit in the famous seats! I sat where Cliff
sits and Belmont was "Tom the Lawyer" for a while.
We found this familiar face sitting on a bar stool.
Twinsies
Hanging out with the gang
He was glad philandering Lilith was blotted out
by my camera flash.
In love! And happy to be at Cheers.
The architecture was lovely.
Belmont was quite excited for an ice cream cone!
Sunset on the Harbor
This morning, we left the hotel and saw a few Revolutionary War sites before we headed to the vacation home. There is a very neat path called the Freedom Trail that includes many of the famous sites of the Revolution. We started at the Bunker Hill Memorial.
Happy to see this famous battle ground
This was HUGE. And we climbed to the top...
All 294 steps...
Here are some views from the top...
The Old North Church
The skies were gorgeous, but you can't really see.
This handsome guys loves history!
This is what makes this spot famous.
It was very pretty on the inside.
Interesting facts!
Look! Calen had a pew here in the 1700s!
Descriptions of spots around the church
A pretty view out the window
There was a colonial printing press in action.
This guy was stamping ink on the press.
This made me think of Dusty!
Want a new pattern? :)
The older man was explaining the process to the crowd.
The print came out beautifully!
(The square around the outside was a guard.)

The printer and his apprentice
This had been put in letter-by-letter! Very cool!
Colonial cocktail, anyone?
There was also a historic chocolate shop.
She showed us how they made hot chocolate.
This was the "Paul Revere Mall" where there
were many plaques dedicated to famous patriots.
Belmont, reading the historic plaques in the square
There was a beautiful fountain in the middle.
A statue of Paul Revere
We also saw Paul Revere's house!
This was the original front door, but it is now closed
since it is a museum. You enter through the side.
These roads were SO bumpy! Hard to walk!
This was the front, from across the street.
The windows had so many panes!
(You could only take pics outside. Boooo!)
These were some historic pieces, crafted by Revere.
Some historic children's games at the gift shop
The Freedom Trail has a line of side-by-side bricks
that shows you where to go throughout the city.
Well, that's all for now! These pictures take forever to load with our house Wi-Fi. Definitely not as fast as the London pics! I'll hopefully post more tomorrow of the rest of our day-- including Liam's first trip to the beach! :)
Hope everyone is doing well!
