We've Arrived on the East Coast!

Well we made it to Boston on Friday morning and headed straight out to Plimoth Plantation and the Mayflower II. After walking around the plantation and engaging the actors in conversations the kids were ready for our wonderful Italian meal of lots of meatballs, alfrado, red ziti, chicken parmesean and of course some canoli's! After chowing down on dinner we headed over to Harvard to tour the Library and campus. Once we got back to the hotel room and the kids got settled in and we had a 'fire drill' and walked all the kids outside in their PJ's and then they got ice cream with all the fixings next door at the bowling alley/restaurant. Yum Yum!

Saturday took us out to Lexington and Concord following Paul Revere's route to warn that the British were coming. We then travelled in to Boston to being touring the Freedom Trail seeing Granary Burying Ground, Old South Meeting House, Faneuil Hall for lunch, Paul Revere's House, Old North Church with a tour of the bell tour and crypt and back to Faneuil Hall for dinner. We burned off dinner as we walked over to the Boston Commons to spend a little time writing and drawing our adventures from the day. The kids really took on the challenge and there are some neat pictures and stories! Next we went to Blue Man Group where the kids had a blast.

Now we are currently on the road to New York City to see Spiderman and have dinner at Hard Rock Cafe in Times Square!!

I'm posting pictures as we go on Facebook, though as I upload they go to my facebook account, I'll try to transfer them as soon as I can to the PTOP page. There are a lot of pictures up on the facebook page right now at http://www.facebook.com/pathstoourpast
