Freedom Trail

We went to Bunker Hill, a site where Paul Revere and the minutemen waited for a lantern or two to show up.  That is how they would know the British were coming.  William Prescott told the minutemen, “ don’t shoot until you see the white in the eyes,” which meant they wanted the soldiers to be up close and to save bullets by not missing their target.

We saw Paul Revere’s house, Faneuil Hall, the Boston massacre site, and toured the USS Constitution warship. The USS Constitution is nicknamed Old Ironsides because the cannons would bounce off the walls. 

We ate lunch outside at Quincy Market and watched some performances where one group of teenagers did a dance show, the other man gave a funny show.  After that, we walked to a park to take a break from all the walking since we walked a total of 7 miles!!  From there, we ate dinner at Maggiano’s Little Italy, an Italian restaurant.  The food was delicious!

“My favorite part of the day was family style dinner at Maggianos, I ate spaghetti meatball and garlic bread.” Ricky E.
