Visiting Boston with the Team

Boston in the Fall

Kelsea Mort

While having a bit of time off, our team was blessed with the opportunity to spend a day in the beautiful city. I’m sure the twelve of us filing into the metro excited for an adventure filled day must have been quite the sight! Our destination? Boston! Our group of Josh, Kristen, Austin, and myself set out confidently, armed with a map and cameras. We followed the yellow brick road, or rather, the red brick road, known as The Freedom Trail, while singing “and now I’ve been to Boston in the fall!” The day was rich with history. Our fearless leader and history nut (Josh), lead us to the very top of the Bunker Hill memorial (all 375ish steps!), into the North Church (where we saw the pews of Theodore Roosevelt and General Gage), to multiple statues erected in founding father’s honor (such as Paul Revere), even to historic graveyards and beautiful parks. We even walked to the waters edge as ‘angry rebels’, throwing tea into the harbor, and were able to take a ferry around the outskirts of the city. We were able to experience some shopping downtown in the market and walk through the public gardens just as the sun was going down. Riding the metro back to the motor home, we all were able to reflect on the day and what a wonderful blessing it was to spend it in such enjoyable company. Farewell to our foundational city, good-bye Boston.
