On September 8th, we drove to downtown Boston. We parked close to Fenway Park hoping to see a baseball game that night. The only tickets we could have gotten were $125.00 each so it would have cost us over $600 just for one game. We decided not to do that. Daniel was a little disappointed. The Boston Red Sox are his favorite team. All because when he was 3 Kevin bought him a Red Sox baseball hat he really wanted. He didn’t know it was a Sox hat he just liked the colors. We decided to walk to the capitol – which was almost 2 miles away. We thought we would ride the subway too if needed. We had already paid to park for the day and didn’t want to pay again. It became a great way to see the city. We enjoyed the walk, but the kids got a little tired. We made it to the capitol which was surrounded by buildings. It sits up on a hill overlooking The Boston Common, a beautiful park. You can tell how it looked so important when it sat there by itself. The Capitol building was impressive in and out. We always like when they have a gold dome like this one has. Inside there was an impressive rotunda, grand staircase and a unique Hall of Flags that used to be an open courtyard never used until a First Lady of Massachusetts decided to have it covered with glass, tile the floor and make it into a banquet hall. They also asked all the cities and towns of Massachusetts to send a replica of their town’s flag to be hung in the hall. It was really impressive. We walked all the way back to the Jeep taking a little different route. We saw so many beautiful buildings, mostly churches, and the kids are always impressed with the tall buildings.
