So the first two days of our vacation we walked all over. We first went to Boston, MA and walked the freedom trail. We probably walked about 6 miles or more. Nate and Mom were worn out. Boston was great. We had good jacket weather and saw alot of buildings that were from the early part of our countries history. Paul Revere's home, Faneuil Hall, Quincy's Market (FOOD, food, and more food in there.) The Old Meeting House where they protested the tax on tea, and lost of other things. We loved it. 
Nate of course wanted to see Fenway park. We just were able to walk around it. The doors were closed and of course it isn't baseball season so nothing was going on.
We saw this "Cheers" sign and thought it would be fun to take a pix.
While in Boston we parked at the Boston Common park, which is the oldest public park. That is where the freedom trail starts. Then this building is the Massachusetts State House. The dome on top of the building is made of 23 carat gold leaf.
The next day, Mom and Connelly stayed in Newport, RI and Nate and I drove for 2 hours and then got on the train in Connecticut to go into New York. Driving in Boston alone was HELL, We didn't want to try it in New york, and so glad we didn't. We went to the David Letterman show. The Gov. of Illinois, Rod Blagojevich, was one of the guests and boy was that a killer. David Letterman really grilled him. It was extremely cold that day in New York. We walked as much as we could, and then took the subway. We saw 9-11 site, Wall street and Time square, but again it was cold and pretty miserable.
