Boston, MA

We went into Boston on Saturday. We decided to take public transportation rather than drive because of the traffic. It was an interesting experience. First we got the on bus, but it was running late so we missed our next bus so the lady sitting next to us told us to take the subway because it was faster. So, we went to the subway station but got on the subway going the wrong way, so luckily a nice man helped us get turned around on our next stop to head towards Boston. Once we got to downtown Boston we had to switch subways and then get on another bus to get us to Bunker Hill. It ended up taking us about 2 hrs, but it was a learning experience and the way home was a lot easier and quicker. So we were definitely happy to get there. We walked the freedom trail and our first stop was Bunker Hill. It was 294 steps to the top of the monument where there was a great view of Boston. It was the sight of the first major battle of the american revolution. Next we walked to the USS Constitution and the Navy Yard. The USS Constitution is the oldest commissioned warship afloat in the world. We got to tour the WWII warship USS Cassin Young.
