My parent’s 50th wedding anniversary was early in 2025. For a family trip we decided to visit New Hampshire, the place my parents had called home the first few years of their marriage. We flew into Boston and spent our first day exploring the city.
Sunrise somewhere over the east coast.
Dad walking towards the Old North Church. Built in 1723, it is the oldest church in Boston and is associated with Paul Revere and his midnight ride.

Liz recommended Neptune Oyster for a delicious seafood lunch.
Mom got the clam chowder and Liz and Jenny got lobster rolls.
I got the lobster spaghettini.

Me and Jenny on one of the swings.
The Bell in Hand Tavern, America’s oldest continuously run tavern. It was established in 1795 and was only closed from 1920 - 1933 during the Prohibition.
We stopped in for a drink and I got the Lady Liberty cocktail, just as the founding fathers envisioned I’m sure. In reality, woman were only allowed to entry in the late 1960’s.
Dad walking down Union Street. I was struck by the combination of historic brick, modern steel, and the towering trees.
Everyone in front of Faneuil Hall.
The Samuel Adam’s statue.
