A mini walkabout in Back Bay, Boston
>> Wednesday, June 9, 2010
This week for Vintage Thingies Thursday -hosted by Suzanne over at Coloradolady's- I thought I would give you a little photo tour of the Back Bay area in Boston. Ed and I spent a wonderful 4 day weekend with none of the kids (thanks Big Ed and Grandma Rose!) in Boston Massachusetts, taking much time to walk around the town and admire the beautiful sites (including some amazing architecture!)
An MIT sailboat out on the Charles
Longfellow Bridge, spanning between Cambridge and Boston
Views from a footbridge on the banks of the Charles River
We didn't do the more traditional stuff like the Duck Boat Tours or Visiting the USS Constitution, we were vacationing on the cheap- our splurge was allowing one decadent breakfast from room service and an hour long in-room massage!
That being said, we took to the streets and wandered whichever direction we felt like heading, stopping to read menus of restaurants along the way so we could plan ahead for future meals.
Please enjoy the photos!
