On Saturday, we hit Boston’s North End, a very Italian part of town.
We followed the Freedom Trail from our starting point, Mike’s Pastry, famous for (at least in my mind) gelato and cannoli…
To the even more famous Old North Church, where the “one if by land, two if by sea” lanterns hung on the night of Paul Revere’s ride.
The church sits below Copp’s Hill, which is the site of one of the oldest cemeteries in America.
Ava tossed a penny (actually about 14) in the church’s courtyard fountain. I wonder what she wished for?

And, as promised, more of that sweet, sleeping baby:

Another fantastic post! I really loved visiting Boston years ago. It’s such a vibrant and unique city. That cemetery is so memorable–dad has some great photos of it stored away somewhere, too.
Also: I lost a mitten in Boston that I had gotten one summer in Ireland. Did you happen to find it?
