We woke up somewhat early. I wanted to start the day as soon as I could because I had very ambitious plans for the day. We asked the concierge for something family friendly for breakfast. He explained that because it was Saturday in the financial district not much was open. He recommended Elephant & Castle or a small diner. We started our walk and came upon the small diner-style place. I don’t even know it’s name, but I think it was on Arch Street just past Downtown Crossing. We had scrambled eggs, potatoes, and toast. Not the greatest food I’ve ever eaten, but it gave us something to go on for the morning. From there we headed back toward Boston Common and began the Freedom Trail. Just as we approached the park it began to drizzle. I came prepared though. Before the trip I bought a rain-proof cover for my son’s stroller. This turned out to be a life-saver for this day. We kept it on him all day. There were vented sides so he could get fresh air, yet protected him from the rain.
I won’t bore you with the details of how the Freedom Trail went for us. No, I don’t think it was boring, but we didn’t do anything spectacular. We basically walked the trail. Stopped at a few of the landmarks for pictures and to explore. The rain somewhat limited how many place we went in to because we’d have to take off our rain jackets, stroller cover, etc. We did spend the most time in the Granary graveyard. We searched for all the “famous” names buried there. We found them all except Paul Revere. We really wanted to find him because he was the one to alert the minutemen of the coming troops. My husband owns a franchise location of Minuteman Press, so we always get a kick out of minuteman related things. I will include some of the pictures from our walk for you to enjoy.
