Every chat thread I have read about visiting Boston always says – don’t drive in Boston. So we didn’t. We drove into the T Stop and rode the T. Boston has done a great job with it’s subway system. It is so much easier to navigate than both the metro or the subway. It is cheaper and cleaner and just nicer. It was very convenient. On the way back we got in around 5:30 on the night of a Red Socks game which made the train PACKED. It was shoulder to shoulder people when we got on – Then more and more people got on at each stop. Being in such close quarters made it so we had an audience for my kids. And they took advantage of it. Ryan especially. He struck up a conversation with the lady next to us and told her all about our trip, his friends, the Rv and even our church. He said, “do you know not everyone loves everyone – because Satan doesn’t love us at all.” I was mortified. If he wasn’t sitting on my lap I would have tried to pretend I didn’t know him.

Boston is a such a neat city to visit. It was pretty busy and the perfect temperature. We walked along the freedom trail for awhile, had lunch and road the ferry over to the USS Consitution. The kids have been watching these movies called Liberty’s kids all about the revolution. It was neat to hear them talk about things and people from the revolution. History is so cool. I think I wil be a history teacher when I grow up. Actually I’ve been thinking my dream job would be to be park ranger. You get to move around the country working at sites with national significance teaching people about imprortant historical events and areas.

We got back to our Rv around 7:00 and hit the road we made it to about 1 hour outside Sharon Vermont where we found a Walmart and spent the night. Walmart parking lots get the job done – but it is really nice to have a park with electricity. This trip has taught me how dependent we are on electricity. It is really nice to be plugged in.
