This weekend Christian and I decided to drive the Revolutionary War Trail. There is so much to do and see in this city and we are bound and determined to see as much of it as we can. Anyone who visits the Boston area this is a beautiful drive; the historic homes and scenery is really quite fabulous! There are a few free museums and visitors centers along the drive that are set up very nicely. Christian and I both agree that we learned more about the Revolutionary War in 4 hours that we ever did in any of our schooling. It is kind of sad that schools don't teach much about the founding of our country. It gave me a lot of respect the families who fought to have our country be free. After the Boston Tea Party, England completely closed off the port to Boston, allowing no goods of any type to get to these settlers as a punishment. Outlining cities had to bring them food and water to help them get through these difficult times. There are many great stories about this war really. Here are a few pictures of our trip. I found some really hot minutemen along the trail!
