The view from the tower at the Mount Auburn Cemetery
 
 
Downtown Boston

A cool Church

We were a little to early for all the Fall colors,
 but I can see why they say it is so beautiful,
because of all the trees


Love that cute smile
 
 
We went to the USS Constitution Museum



 
Then we took a tour of the Vessel itself
This is the World's oldest commissioned naval vessel afloat
It was so cool








 
The Navy was selling flags that had actually flown on the
USS Constitution
So Lynn bought one to add to his flag collection

Noah and Lynn raising the flag up the mast


Bringing the flag down

The flag flying over the USS Constiution
 
 

Noah, being a Fireman, T-Rex and using his light saver all at once
Loved spending time with this guy
 
 
 
They have a Group on Campus called the Crimson Kids,
they take the kids on field trips, They went Apple Picking while we were there
We were able to go with them
Here are some pictures of the fun time






We went on a hayride to get to the apple orchard
Picked our apples and of course had to try some
Went back to the barn and had apple cider donuts and fresh apple cider
We made Apple Crisp when we got home with our apples
 
 
Lynn and I love old buildings and boy did we see a lot of them in Boston
Here is one that we really liked, and some other pictures of downtown Boston

We had a great time, and Thank Melissa, Andy, Noah and Clare for letting us invade their space for a the week. 
 

 

Lynn and I were able to go to Boston,  MA for a week to see Melissa, Andy, Noah and Clare.
The evening that we arrived we walked around the Harvard Business School Campus and then down to Harvard Square.  This is a business district on Harvard University Campus.  It is across the Charles River from HBS Campus. 
 
 
 
 
The Library at HBS

They have all these random chairs on the lawn for students to study at or just sit and enjoy the weather

We loved all the old buildings, and if they were newer they still had that old look.
Beautiful Arcitectue

His shoe has been rubbed to a shine.
People would rub it for good luck
