Freedom Trail 5k and the North End

Riding the Red Line into the city!

 After we returned from New York, we woke up early the next morning and met with some strangers at the Common and ran the Freedom Trail 5k! It was a very entertaining, low stress run. We followed our tour guide from one historical site to the next and would stop at each place to hear some interesting facts about Boston. It was SOOOO cool! Note: some of these pictures are from a phone and some are from our camera. The nice pictures of our 5k were taken by our running guide.

First stop was across the street from the Common at the State House

This running tour was awesome. We learned so many things that we never knew! Boston has such a cool history.

We became fast friends with our running partners on this two hour tour. The run ended at the U.S.S. Constitution in the Naval Ship Yard. Our running guide distributed t-shirts to everyone and bought us drinks at a nearby convenience store. Then we boarded a ferry and rode back across the harbor. We absolutely loved the whole thing and definitely plan to do this again!

Later that day we went back into the city to have dinner at the oldest running restaurant in the country! 

This was actually outside of a bar that is just around the corner from the Union Oyster House.
Some of the plans for the American Revolution were schemed here so we went inside to check it out.

The lights are up at Quincy Market!

What a fun weekend! Thanks for visiting, mom. We loved having you!
