Fall in New England

The beginning of October we went with Wayne to New England for a pastor's conference. While Daddy was in meetings the kids and I explored a children's museum in Providence, Rhode Island followed by a trip to the mall. I thought that was fair - something for the kids, something for Mommy - haha! After spending two night there and after Wayne was done with his conference, we drove up to Boston the spend the next two nights.
Wayne had found our hotel online by bidding on it. We stayed at the Hilton airport hotel which was lovely - and at a decent price. We were then given a room on the top floor with access to complimentary appetizers in the evening and breakfast in the morning! We felt so special!! We had a blast exploring Boston via the subway. This was a huge thrill for the kids! We did it all - the subway, bus and even a ferry across the harbor!

We walked the Freedom Trail that included seeing sights as the Old North Church, Paul Revere's house and more and ended with a guided tour of the USS Constitution. We visited the Museum of Science and enjoyed a lunch of New England clam chowder and some yummy beer from a Boston micro-brewery. (I had the Pumpkin ale!) We stopped at the park featured in the popular kid's book "Make Way for Ducklings" where the kids had a ride on the bronze ducks. The drive was lovely both directions as the fall colors were breathtaking. We had such a fun time!
