"One if by land, two if by sea" - Day 3 in Boston

Frank's niece spent some time with her family in Boston this summer and highly recommended a hop-on-hop-off tour:  Old Town Trolley Tours

What a deal!  Bus ticket good for two days AND a harbor cruise!  We strategized and took the trolley to the marina and then got on the cruise.  (It worked well with our plan that day.  We didn't want to get started too early as we had the football game that night.)

Tradition when we are at at away game.

We decided to pick up the trolley at the last stop before the marina, within walking distance from the hotel.  But to get there, we needed to walk through Boston Common.  It was windy, chilly but sunny!

After the harbor cruise, we headed across the street to Quincy Market and Faneuil Hall for a bite to eat. 

This was the end of our Day 3 tourist experience.  We needed to head back to the hotel to get ready for the game!
