More Boston Pictures


A quaint little courtyard just up the street from Paul Revere's house






I was in love with the window fronts at the restaurants in Little Italy.


On the Old Town Trolley tour bus

Boston's State House with its real 23 karat gold leaf gilding on the dome. Erin was telling us that some students actually tried to climb up there recently and pull some shingles off. 






Funky architecture at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)



We walked to Granary Cemetery where you can find the graves of Ben Franklin's parents and Paul Revere, among many other historical figures. I was amazed at how old some of the graves were, dating back to the mid 1600s. 



At Fennuil Park they have a replica of the original Cheers Bar/restaurant where the show was filmed




















While shopping at Fennuil Park we found an amusing stand selling bags made from one long zipper. Here is Jen helping Brooke zip up her new purse, which stretched out over 15 feet when unzipped! 


This house right across the street from Bunker Hill had a "For Sale" sign in front and Erin suggested we all move in together. It's such a beautiful quiet neighborhood.  I love the old town feel of this city.
