Strolling through Boston on a Crisp Autumn Day

Seeing my favorite city with my favorite girls!

Several weeks ago we decided to meet up with our girls in Boston to do our own walking tour of Boston along the Freedom Trail. This is Beacon Street as viewed from the Boston Common (think NYC Central Park, but dollhouse sized).

We left our car in the garage on Clarendon Street and then walked down Boylston.

We walked up through the Public Gardens into the Common where the girls posed for pix with the State House in the background.

We then wound our way around the pond where people were feeding the ducks and swans.

 

It was the most glorious October day, sunny with bright blue skies.
(And, I might add, it was a tad nippy!).

 

We could have spent a lot more time with these guys, but we had a lot of ground to cover.

 

A quick stop at the fountain...

 

...and then it was time to head out of the Commons.

 

Next stop, the old Granary Burying Ground which dates back to 1660.

There were several organized tours going on and we may do one of those in the spring.

 

But for today, we meandered and investigated at our own speed.

 

So many old markers...

 

... each one different than the last...

 

This probably would have been a good post for the month of October...

 

I'll share more of our walk in my next post.

Boston is a very small, walkable city and I hope we can meet

up with the girls and do this a lot more often in the future!

 

I'm linking up to A Favorite Thing Saturday

with Claudia at Mockingbird Hill Cottage.

Be sure to stop over and share one of your favorite things!!

 

Have a great weekend, everyone,
