April 4th - Revolutionary Boston, in the Snow!

Today we drove into the center of Boston, then explored the city on foot.
Our first stop was at Boston Common where we met our local costumed guide, dressed as an historical character, for a walking tour along the Freedom Trail.
We visited sites connected to the American Revolution, then continued to Old North Church, where Paul Revere began his midnight ride under the famously liit lantern that gave the "One if by land, & two if by sea" signal.
After time for lunch at historic Quincy Market, we dodged the snow by visiting the amazing New England Aquarium. 
We rode the 'T', Boston's subway, to Copley Square where we visited the magnificent Boston Public Library. 
Then it was time for the grand finale of the day - an epic snowball fight on the lawn in Copley Square!
We had a great dinner & then, exhausted from trekking around in the snow, decided to call it a night.  A great day!
