Sunday - Our last day in Boston

Checking out of Manchester we headed back to Boston for our final day of sightseeing. We parked close by the Charlestown ship yard for a tour of Old Iron Sides.


We took a guided tour which took us below to the gun and berth decks.




Please don't let Terry drive this ship ... he's dangerous enough with a car!


There is a walking tour of Boston where you follow the red brick 'road'. Several of these sights we saw on our trolley tour, but this way we could visit them up close and personal.

Bunker Hill Monument. Unfortunately we couldn't walk to the top as it was closed for renovation.


One if by land, two if by sea. The Old North Church (officially known as Christ Church in the City of Boston) was built in 1723. It became famed on the eve of the Revolution, April 18, 1775, when Paul Revere relayed the message to Robert Newman, the church sexton, that the British were marching by sea and he gave the signal of two lanterns.


Paul Revere's house. (Wish it were a no parking zone in front ... would make for a much better picture!)


We ended our day by dining at Mother Anna's ... very good Italian food. Why does it seem the appetizer is always better than the entre? The stuffed Portobello mushroom was wonderful! Delicious meal!


For dessert we had cannolis from Mike's Pastry shop. We had about a 15 minute wait in line, but it was well worth it. Unbelievably decadent!


For our last night we headed to the Super8 in Weymouth, a short drive south of Boston. They must've hired 3rd graders to remodel and paint this room. They had repainted and about a one-inch space was left around fixtures, etc. The furniture in the room was way too much for the space. One of the bedside tables drawer couldn't be opened due to it facing the bed since there wasn't enough room to face it the right direction. It was quite humorous to us.
