It was a day in Boston and we were taking a tour around Boston. The whole day we were going on and off the trolley. We went to a fair and got some delicious zeppolis! Bryson, Porter and my dad got a haircut. We went back on the trolley and hopped out near the Paul Revere house because the trolley can’t go on that road. We looked at Paul Revere’s then walked along to the trolley area. My dad, Bryson and I walked across a bridge heading toward the U.S.S. Constitution.  When we got there we had to go through security before entering the U.S.S. Constitution. Inside the U.S.S. Constitution there were canons and ropes and cannonballs. After that we went to a museum for the U.S.S. Constitution where I made rope with a rope maker.

scrubbing the decks like they did on the USS Constitution

We went to another museum for children. We laid on hammocks and holystoned (holystoning is when you use hand scrubbers to wash the decks.  See picture above.). Then my mom went off to shop and my dad took Bryson, Porter and I back to the boat. As we rode away on the trolley we passed fire trucks zooming off past us, probably trying to put out a fire. When we got to the harbor there were fire trucks and fire fighters by the dock. This is where the fire comes in. There had been a fire in the engine room of a speed boat. When the fire was put out we zoomed away in the dingy toward our boat. Then all of a sudden, out of nowhere, Paul Revere came zooming away on his midday ride (a man dressed as a colonial man zoomed away in his dingy). When night came we went to an Italian restaurant where Porter lost his tooth. That is some history about Boston and a fire in a harbor.
