Regina~

That gave me goosebumps!

I haven’t visited any of those places, but I would love to. Just reading about them injects a shot of that Revolutionary fire in my veins. I so admire those men and women who risked everything they had to throw off the bonds of tyrany.

There’s a line in the movie National Treasure when someone tells Ben Gates (Nicholas Cage) “People don’t talk like that anymore.”

It’s true that we don’t. And it’s a shame because we should. I’m so glad you did today.

Doreen – The monument was closed while we were there. The heat was too intense for them to allow anyone up…so I guess we’ll have to go back. 🙂 We really loved Boston. It was beautiful.

Another place that has a similar emotional response for me is the Alamo.

Thanks for stopping by!

Hi! Boston is amazing. My son and daughter-in-law live there. I know what you mean about Boston’s history. I find myself trying to picture how things looked back then and how the people felt. What was running through their minds? Did they expect victory or defeat?

Did you walk up the steps in the Bunker Hill (Breed’s Hill) monument? I climbed up a few years ago. I had to stop about halfway up to take a little rest. The steps are so steep! I felt like a wimp until I went a little further and passed two young girls taking a breather too! It was well worth the climb. The views are beautiful!

I loved visiting Williamsburg, Jenna! If I was going to experience the Revolution, I think Williamsburg would have been much more comfortable than Boston.

Becky, you are hilarious!

Hmmm I would probably want to be a part of the revolution! I’d probably want to be in Williamsberg VA

It was a very thoughtful & fun trip. I too daydreamed…I caught myself staring at the TD Garden arena & trying to image I was a Boston fan in the year 2011. What would be my first reaction when I heard the news Kendrick Perkins is being traded to the OKC Thunder. Oklahoma City? They have no legacy! How can our scowled defensive enforcer call this place home? Who will replace him? What does this mean for team…for our city…for our future?!?
