The Freedom Trail then and now

By Mara 5 Comments

In front of Faneuil Hall - then and now

What a difference 8 years make! The photo on the left is from our 2003 stay in Boston; on the right see our 2011 recreation of that special moment. Next week I’ll share our story of walking the Freedom Trail (this photo comes right in the middle), including a separate post about visiting the Old South Meeting House, which was one of our favorite places along the path. I’ll finish up our Boston trip by writing about the New England Aquarium.

For Photo Friday at Delicious Baby.

    Love the contrasting photos – maybe you should do it again in 8 years and have Tommy holding Matt! 🙂

    Looking forward to your post about walking the Freedom Trail – that is something that I have always wanted to do.

    What a great photo – and isn’t it amazing how fast the kids grow.

    I love recreating photos – I like to do it with my kids and photos of my brother and me when we were little!
