Boston

Jeff was able to go with his Dad to Boston last weekend to visit his brother Scott and his wife, Jayme. They enjoyed eating lobster, seeing Waldon's Pond, and spending time touring the city. Jeff loved the beauty of Boston and the energy there. It's a city of thousands of college students, beautiful architecture, rich in history and stories from the past.

He found a city filled with churches, yet in need of a new chapter spiritually. They walked on the Freedom Trail, which led them to several historic sites.
The Old North Church is the oldest active church building in Boston. It is the site where the famous "one if by land, two if by sea" signal is said to have been given on the night of Paul Revere's ride.

Here is North Bridge where the battle of Lexington occurred.
Thanks, Scott and Jayme for your wonderful hospitality. We love you!

Amanda and I went to Boston for Spring Break this past year and did the Freedom Trail too. I thought it was really great being able to see all the history in Boston. Loved it.

Loved those Boston pictures. Where's the one of Walden Pond? I want to hear and see more. It brought back lots of memories of when we lived there. G'ma Marge
