Today we ate breakfast at Cracker Barrel. It was nice to get sweat tea to drink. Dad decided to stay at the hotel today because he didn't want to miss the race which was at 8:00 pm tonight. We were going to take the commuter train down to Boston today to avoid the parking garage fee and the hassle of driving in the city. When we got there, we found out the next train wasn't for 2 more hours, and decided to drive to the furthest out T stop. We caught the T at Oak Grove.
The T was a little bit of a hassle because we had to find elevators at each stop for A. Mae's wheelchair and they were always in out-of-the-way or strange places. We made it work, it just took a little more time. We were heading in to Boston to meet up with Molly Hayes and her parents. They texted us to tell us to come to L. Pace near one of the T stops. We had some trouble finding the place, but eventually did. We stayed with them about 1/2 hour before we headed off to the North End to go to the Old North Church. We took a group tour of the church and then walked over to a bakery a block away for a snack.
We got back on the T, and this time it was jam packed. It was tough to stay together and ride to our next stop. We went back to the Granary, since it was closed the day before, to see the graves of Samuel Adams, John Hancock, Mother Goose, and others. We walked across Boston Common by the Frog Pond and went over to Cheers. Then we caught the T over to Harvard Square. Molly, Shirley, and John Hayes were standing at the top of the elevator waiting on us and we all went to dinner.
We decided we were too tired to go to the fireworks and that if we did it would be really late when we got home. We walked through Harvard University on the way back to the T. We made it back to the car and home, but it was late.
Long day...
