Bunker Hill Monument

Caleb and I decided to climb the 294 steps of the monument! Inside, they number the steps to help/torture you during the climb. As we got to step 200 & he looked at me like “What did we get ourselves into?” I gave him a Braveheart style charge “For freeeeedom!!!” and he promptly finished the task. . Love that kid!

Freedom Trail Boston, MA

The Freedom Trail is a 2.5-mile-long (4.0 km) path through downtown Boston, Massachusetts, that passes by 16 locations significant to the history of the United States. Marked largely with brick, it winds between Boston Common to the Bunker Hill Monument in Charlestown. Stops along the trail include simple explanatory ground markers, graveyards, notable churches and buildings, and a historic naval frigate. While most of the sites are free or suggest donations, the Old South Meeting House, the Old State House, and the Paul Revere House charge admission. The Freedom Trail is overseen by the City of Boston’s Freedom Trail Commission and is supported in part by grants from various nonprofits and foundations, private philanthropy, and Boston National Historical Park. Here are some photos from our trip.

We started backwards…at Bunker Hill first..

Caleb wanted to climb all 294 steps! We maid it and got a spectacular view.
