Bunker Hill Monument

Sarah and I decided to trek over to the Bunker Hill Monument together during her visit. In order to get there we had to cross a bridge from our neighborhood (North End) to Charlestown, where the monument was located. I'd never been to that part of Boston, and it was so quaint! I immediately fell in love.

This is what all of Charlestown looks like. Ridiculous, right?



The monument



We walked to the top of the monument via a winding stone staircase with 290-something steps. Sarah and I were both sore the next day.



Just a typical charming Charlestown street:




Afterward, we stopped at Paul Revere Park, which gave us a nice view of the Bunker Hill Monument Bridge.

Johnny and I are so happy Sarah and Greg came and visited! We loved spending time with them, and they gave us an excuse to get out and see Boston!

I love how hard I am trying to not look completely out of breath in that step picture. I was dying the whole way up.

I've never been out to Charlestown but now I must go! We'll put it on our list for when we visit! It looks so cute.

I love all your pictures and posts! How neat you get to go to Boston! It's so stressful, but also so fun to move around and see different parts of the US. You're making me want to travel, lol.

I'm glad the adjustments went well and excited for your new opportunity!
