Back from Boston




Hello! I'm glad to be back. I have been away on a family reunion. Then, I had to drive across the country with my cousins Carolina (aka Canos) and Georgiana (aka Georgie). But first things first. My family started our vacation in Rhode Island. We went to Providence, the steeple lined city and then to Newport where we collected shells on the beach and went on the mansion walk. We even got to see the house from the movie Great Gadsby. My dad got a tick on his pants, but it was only sitting there doing nothing. Even still, it scared me for the rest of the trip. Next we went to Boston, where we walked the Freedom Trail which I absolutely loved. I'm already a real history lover. I especially liked visiting the cemeteries, the Old North Church where the lanterns were hung to alert the minutemen of the redcoat's arrival by sea, and Paul Revere's house. Next we went to Concord, Massachussets, town of Emerson's home, Louisa May Alcott's house, and also Walden Pond. I loved seeing Louisa May Alcott's house because I love the book Little Women. Her house is very pretty.
Next stop: Plymouth, Massachussets. We got to see the famous rock and the Mayflower.

After Plymouth, we caught a ferry to Nantucket Island. I'll be back to write about that sometime later this week.
