We have officially left Illinois, and made our way over to Boston, MA. A roommate of mine from college moved out here with her husband a few years ago, and we decided to stop for a few days to visit them and check a few more National Parks off our list before leaving the country. This is our second visit to the Boston area, but the first time was in the early spring and not everything was open at the time.
While here we have gone on several hikes to see splendid views of the city and get in a little bit of exercise. We have also visited Lowell National Historic Park, Longfellow House and Washington's Headquarters National Historic Site, the Adams National Historic Park and the Boston Harbor Islands National Recreation Area.
Along with these national sites, we also made our way to Plymouth, to see where the first pilgrims landed in America. Seems appropriate since we are now going to the country from which the pilgrims decided to leave...
Check out the pics of our Boston adventures!
