We started where it all started, with the Pilgrims in Plymouth. We saw the Mayflower (replica) and Plymouth Rock (it says 1620 on it, I promise, the sun was shining in such a way that I could never get a good photo.)
We spent some time with the witches in Salem, ate some glass in a lovely little restaurant on the wharf (long story) and toured the house that was the inspiration for Hawthorne's The House of the Seven Gables.
We ended our day by wandering the shores of Marblehead, the perfectly charming coastal town nearby.
One of our evenings in the city included a visit to the north end for Italian, a not-nearly-as-long-as-it-looks wait in line for fabulous cannoli at Mike's, a stroll past the Old North Church and a stop at Fenway.
Another visit took us past the Boston LDS temple and to dinner at Armando's Pizza. Did I mention we spent a lot of time eating? And gained several pounds? We did, and we did. And every bite was worth it!
More to come but I'm afraid I have to pause now to drool a little and wish I was eating pizza and cannoli.
