Vacationing in Boston with Dave and Dian Wallis

Here are a few photos of our wonderful vacation time in Boston. We stayed in the Marriott Custom House which put us right down in the historical district with Quincy Market, Fanueil Hall and the Freedom Trail just steps away. We were on the 19th floor(just under the clock) with a magnificent view of the city.  History of Boston was interesting and we enjoyed visiting the actual sites where our American history happened - Boston Massacre, Boston Tea party, Battle of Bunker Hill, North Church, etc.

We were staying in the area of Boston called the North End. Besides the history, it was only a short walk to many amazing restaurants. If you like Italian, don't miss the saltimbocca at Panza or the meatballs at Limoncello. If it is seafood, don't miss the crab cake at Legal Seafood.
