Some Quick Photos to Share

Sorry resolution is not great, but they are cell phone shots.



Cowboy Max and Cowgirl Evelyn.
We'd like to thank Costco for the props...  How many people do you know that can ride a horse while eating a hotdog?!  Yeehaw, Max!  


Faneuil Hall, Boston, MA.
Samuel Adams poses for you immortalized in front of a famous hall on the Freedom Trail.  Many events took place here that helped to shape our republic.


Paul Revere's tombstone, Boston, MA.
Ever remembered for the fateful "Midnight Ride", Paul Revere lays to rest in one of the coolest, creepiest, and most Halloween-ish graveyards I've ever seen.  Two lanterns glowed like the fervor of our infant nation in the tower of the Old North Church...Red Coats approaching by sea.


USS Constitution, Boston, MA.  "Old Ironsides"
Oldest commissioned US Naval Ship.  Yep, she's still commissioned!  She has an active duty crew assigned to her and it even sails on special occasions.  You can take tours onboard this the 3rd of 6 US Navy frigates commissioned to fend off the Algerian pirates as part of the act to provide a naval armament signed by President George Washington in 1794.  She was nicknamed "Old Ironsides" because the strength of her live oak hull, which was known to reflect cannon balls off her sides as if made of iron.
