We Aren't in Lakeside Anymore!

Dick had a conference for work in Boston. We decided to make this our vacation. We also went to Maine but I will post Boston pictures first. This is where we went to church. It was a very cool building. It was once an old boiler factory for steamships. Church was awesome. It's so comforting to know the gospel is the same no matter where you go! This it the "T". This is how Bostonites and Lakesideites get around.
We walked along the Freedom Trail which takes you to the historic sites of the Revolutionary War. We saw too many too post. We walked the entire trail which ended up being 14 miles roundtrip. It too was awesome!
Yes, this is where "Cheers" was filmed. But I'm pretty sure they didn't know our name.


The last stop on the Freedom Trail is the Bunker Hill Monument. It has 294 steps to the top and yes we climbed everyone of them!

We saw some street performers. There were two brothers and a sister and they are from England. They were amazing!
Besides being extremely limber, he could juggle, do acrobatics and had incredible balance as did his brother and sister.

We also got to go to the Boston Temple. It was really beautiful but there were only seven of us in the session.
