History up close

We headed to the East coast to see some history. We ventured to Boston by way of Washington D.C. We only had a few hours but the kids were able to touch the Washington monument, see the WWII and the Vietnam War memorials and the Lincoln memorial.


Boston was fabulous. They have a great public transportation system and tons to see. We purchased a 5 day pass and it paid for itself in the first day. We took a tall ship cruise and a whale watch cruise. We went on a "duck" tour and a trolley tour. We went on boat rides to see the harbor and the Charles River.

We traveled along the freedom trail on a guided tour. We were able to visit the Science Museum, the Children's museum and the Aquarium.
They have tons of great parks. Here is Finn at the "frog pond".


The kids already asked to come back next year.
