We hit the streets on our second day feeling like we knew pretty much what we were doing and what we wanted to see.  We hopped on the trolley and headed to stop #4, the USS Constitution and the Bunker Hill Monument.  The Constitution is in dry dock for 3 years for refurbishing but we could still get a glimpse of it.  Pretty amazing and hard to picture what things must have been like 300 years ago.  The Bunker Hill Monument and museum was really interesting and makes you stop and think..this is exactly where the US Government began.  Of course, everyone here is well-versed on American Revolution history and it was good to get re-educated on it.  We even saw the building, built in 17?? where Paul Revere read the Declaration of Independence to 10,000 Bostonians.  Wow! 

Next stop was the Boston Commons and Granary Cemetery where Paul Revere, Samuel Adams and Ben Franklin's parents are buried.  Fascinating!  We walked most of the Freedom Trail.  Somehow, we got busy and forgot to visit Cheers:(  The finale was a Boston Harbor Cruise then back to catch the 3:40 ferry back to Hingham.  Poor Booker has been left for the past two days, 8 hrs + each day.
