To Boston and Back

Well, a year ago I started this crazy history class with several wonderful women from my school (as well as many others). We essentially took an entire US history class from pilgrims to modern day in three weeks! Grueling about sums it up. Now a year later we were rewarded with all our hard work for the past year with a trip to Boston!
We did so many things and visited so many places I can't even remember them all! Among them were: Plimouth, John Adams Houses in Quincy (pronounced "Quinzy"), all the places along the Freedom Trail, ...Ok my mind has now gone blank! Might I mention that I failed my essays test too. I also got to go to Blue Man Group! It was so much fun. If you have never seen them, you need to! They are hilarious!

Apparently I can take a picture of myself!

I got to be the littlest baby duck...anyone ever read this book?

Woo Hoo!

Don't even ask! But yes, it is a ship made out of a cow!

Row, Row, Row Your Boat...

A REAL wood pile...circular.

My newest weapon of choice.

Couldn't help but laugh!

Love the view behind us.

I have no idea who these weird "dead" people are! 

Apparently I ride bikes every 11 years!

I'm soaked and cold. Now I know why I wont move.

A Blue Man!

I MADE IT! Should I be punching the air now?

Heck yes I can climb it!

After Boston we got on AmTrak and headed to Philly. Talk about a very boring 6 hour train ride.

We only got to be in Philly one day, much to our disappointment, but we had a story guide who walked us around and helped us see some re-enactments of when they were getting ready for the Declaration of Independence. He was hilarious!

Her new boyfriend!

I decided to take a picture with every weird hat I found!

One week of craziness later we were headed home. Remind me to not take a 4 am flight out of anywhere!

Rachel and I...too tired.

In the end, it was all worth it!
