From there we walked to Bunker Hill as we passed one park there was a Memorial to Americans who had died June 17 1775 at the Battle of Bunker Hill. I thought what a fitting weekend to come to these sights; a time to remember those who died to give us our FREEDOM. Brian and the boys walked 294 steps to the top of the Bunker Hill Monument.
One the way back to the van we stopped into Mike's Pastry shop and got some amazing cannoli's and lemon cookies for the kids.
We had a wonderful day. The weather was forecasting a 30-40% chance of rain. As we got to Charlestown there was a Severe Storm Warning that lasted about 10 minutes with about 30 minutes of thunder but never did rain all that hard. Then just as we got back to the van the skies opened up for about 20 minutes.
I love living in the land of living history. My kids can see and touch American history.

Sounds like a great way to spend Memorial Day weekend. I would love to see all of that!
I would have loved to have seen all of those sites that you saw. My husband and teen son love all that history stuff. I would have liked the bakery goods! ;)
Well rain is better than snow! Hahahaha What memories you made this past weekend, and very fitting to be there where so many gave their lives not for continuing to keep the freedoms we have today but to pathe the way for the freedoms we have today. You are so lucky to be there, have I told you that recently? :) I can't wait to take the family out there one of these days!
Hey I had fun in the snow with you:) I can't wait for you to bring the family out here. I miss you so much.
