Mom, being ever the planner of the family, decided we'd see historical sights while we were there to make use of every minute of our time. She's such a homeschooler. The day Teresa worked, we took the bus to the train and the train to Boston (T lives in Cambridge). From there we followed the Freedom Trail which took us to various places such as the Boston Commons, cemeteries where famous men were buried, Old South Meeting House (where the Boston massacre happened), and Paul Revere's house. This dashing soldier stood outside the Green Dragon, where the Patriots (not the football team) used to meet.
Back at the Commons, after we had walked our legs off, we saw this statue. Mom kept trying to find a plaque where it explained what this woman was representing. She kept walking around, looking closer, and then...she moved. The statue. It was totally a person. 
Later we walked around Harvard. Here's Anna at the top of the library's steps.
"What Is Man That Thou Art Mindful Of Him" right on a Harvard building.
They even had a stone table. Not saying I'd want to sleep there, but it was nice.
The next day we spent at the beach. It was lovely.
It was fun walking around Boston and Cambridge. It was a great thing to do in June.
