Here's a shot of the souvenir baseballs given to each fan at yesterday's game. It was the 700th consecutive Red Sox sellout at Fenway Park.
We went to the Garden to see the Bobby Orr statue!
Boston's got big balls baby!
Whooooooooooooo - Stanley Cup Champs!!!
From Boston Harbor.
The USS Constitution (AKA Old Ironsides) is the world's oldest commissioned warship that is still afloat. They offer free guided tours given by active duty Navy Sailors. We didn't have the time to do one today, but it's definitely on my to-do list for a future visit.
In the background (to the right of the ship) you can see the Bunker Hill Monument, which stands 221 feet at Breed's Hill, the site of the first major battle of the American Revolution fought on June 17, 1775. One day I'd like to visit the Monument and climb the 294 steps to the pinnacle - the amazing vista at the end of the journey is said to be well worth the effort.
The dude in the white shirt and hat was our tour guide on the harbor cruise.
Buildings downtown.
Massachusetts State House.
Boston's Historic North End - LOVE this neighborhood!
The Holocaust Memorial is a must see on every visit to Boston. It will move you to tears. Words just cannot describe it (not my words, anyway) but you can read all about it here:
