After Rhode Island, we headed up to Massachusetts, which we both loved. Our first stop was Plymouth Rock, which is really only part of the rock and is really only supposedly the real rock. Plymouth is a beautiful little town, though. We hiked up the hill to the cemetery and saw some very old monuments to some very famous people.
This was a replica of the Mayflower, which we did not pay to go into.
On our way up to Boston, we stopped in Scituate, Massachusetts which had a beautiful little light house with an awesome story. I loved the story of these young, brave sisters!
That evening we made it into Boston. As I mentioned before, we were able to find places to stay for 14 out of our 17 nights. Before we left, however, we didn't have a place to stay in Boston and were a little worried because all of the hotels we'd seen were really expensive. When we were already out on the trip, my sister texted me telling me that some old friends of hers who lived in Boston had offered to let us stay with them. They had an awesome apartment right next to the train and it made our stay in Boston so convenient and affordable. Mik and Tif and their four kids were so much fun to talk to and made us feel completely comfortable. Just one of the many miracles we witnessed on this trip.
The evening that we arrived, we rode the train in to see a few places, including the Boston Public Library and the finish line of the Boston Marathon. We ate at Max Brenner, which had cool waffle sandwiches, both sweet and savory. The weather was perfect and the city was beautiful.
The library itself was a stunning building. We walked around inside for quite a while, admiring the architecture and artwork.
