"do you think the freedom trail will lead us to soft serve?"

As another Monday began this very fine morning, Vicky and I found ourselves looking for something to do that got us out of the apartment and about the city. We contemplaited the aquarium and then the Museum of Science but when it came down to it neither of us were looking to spend $22 dollars to walk around a museum when we could go to the ICA or the MFA for free. However, we'd both been to the two museums recently and wanted to do something else maybe not art related for once. So, at my half joking suggestion we decided to visit Mr. Paul Rever's home in the North End and go about the day like a tourist.

First, we wandered around a bit

Eventually, we got to Paul Revere's house for a little tour

Vicky, unimpressed, was glad it only cost $3. "We only got to see like, what, four rooms!" 

I agreed, but it was still kind of interesting.

After we took some more pictures and wandered out of the court yard, we followed the Freedom Trail and made out way to Old North Church (and stopped to check out the menu of this adorable restaurant)

After poking around the church and church grounds, a tour guide in front of the church told us about a tour running that would take us to see the bell tower and the crypts under the church. We were sold after "tour of the crypts". 

 After seeing the basement full of some very old bodies and learning quite a bit about the history of the church, we found the soft serve that Vicky had been craving for quite some time. We agreed that there weren't enough sprinkled but good none the less.

 

Toward the end of the day we wandered over to AQ and the greenway.

But to end our day, we'll, we just had to treat ourselves to corn dogs.

America!
