Boston, MA. July 3-5th - Happy 4th of July!

We arrived in boston around 3:30 and headed to the hotel to check in. The hotel was in a very good location down town a couple blocks away from where we would watch the fire works. We were a little disappointed when we walked in the room though because it was extremely small and we only had one bed. We asked the front desk to bring a roll away bed up and they did but the room was so small that the bed couldn't even fit so we ended up having to make a pallet on the floor again. After getting the hotel situated we headed out to walk around the city for a bit. The city was really awesome! it feels a lot like Chicago but is much smaller and it does not feel crowded at all, even on the 4th. The city is also really cool because the architecture appears very old and there are a lot of really cool looking churches in the city. There are also a lot of shops and restaurants all down the streets. That night we took an Uber to this place called the Hen House for some chicken and waffles. To our surprise this place was located in a sketchy part of town and we were pretty sure some breaking bad type stuff goes on here. Needless to say the chicken and waffles were very good!

The next day we woke up, grabbed some lunch, and walked around town again. We looked at some of the shops and checked out the restaurants that were by the hotel to kill time before the fire works that night. The festivities began at 7:30 and the fireworks didn't start till 9-9:30ish so we headed down to the river around 8:30 to try and get a good spot to watch the fireworks. Down by the river was packed with people! They had most of the roads blocked off because there were so many people walking in the street. After weaving through the crowed for about 30 minutes we finally found a good spot to see the fire works! They come on at 9:30 and it was by far one of the best fire works shows we have ever seen. It was really long and they had a ton of cool fireworks!

Boston was a great city to be in for the 4th! You could just feel the American spirit in the air and we had a great time at the firework show! That being said the holidays are always better spent with close friends and family! I hope every one had a wonderful 4th!
