Orchard House and Sleepy Hollow
I loved visiting Orchard House, home to Louisa May Alcott, and the very place she wrote Little Women.
Sleepy Hollow Cemetery, the burial site for all those great Concord authors and thinkers:
Harvard Campus and Castle Island
These were taken on Harvard University's historical walking tour. What a beautiful campus it is.
Shops along Massachusetts Ave: (how perfect is that old man?)
Walking into Harvard Yard (they had cute tables and chairs like this everywhere!),
and a view of the Wadsworth House, which houses the Alumni Association:
Below: Massachusetts Hall, the oldest surviving building on campus. It has been used as dormitories, (a place in which some of our founding fathers lived), quarters for American soldiers, and most currently administration offices.
Below Left: Matthews Hall, first year dormitories. (famous past resident? Matt Damon.)
Right: Memorial Hall
Inside Memorial Hall, a hall that has been used for commencement ceremonies, theater performances, and student dining.
It was inspired by the Great Hall at Oxford University, aka Hogwart's. :)
Widener Library:
University Hall, and the John Harvard Statue:
We also went to Castle Island for some swimming. We ended up in Pleasure Bay, which turned out to be a pretty crappy beach, but still fun. The best part was lunch at Sullivan's...YUM.
4th of July in Boston
Downtown Boston along the Charles River. The place was nuts, but the show was quite amazing.
Closest view of the hatch shell, where the Pops play.
