Boston Trip 2010

Our trip to Boston a couple of weeks ago was AMAZING!! I found a WONDERFUL hotel that I HIGHLY recommend to anyone going to visit the Boston area. It was in Cambridge, MA, on the campus of MIT and it's a renovated fire station. Breakfast is included (a prerequisite for our family) and so is parking (also quite handy in the Boston area). There's no pool or fitness center at the hotel, but you do get free passes to a center around the corner. We didn't have time to use it so don't know much about that! It's the Kendall Hotel and we really enjoyed our stay. Another nice thing about it is that you're literally a block from a T station which makes it really EASY to get into and out of the city.

Our homeschooling this year has focused on American History so we were really excited to see the sites in Boston of things we've read about. One of the projects I had Ian do was a "brochure" of things he wanted to see in Boston. Almost all of what he wanted to see was along the Freedom Trail so we tried to do as much of that as we could. The weather really cooperated and it was beautiful! We had a lot of fun and enjoyed seeing Brian's parents as well as enjoyed that Josh got to come join us for most of our time in Boston. It was good to be together as a family.

Here's a slide-show of pictures from our trip. Enjoy!
