Foxboro/Boston Mass 09/22-09/23 2019

We had a pretty short travel day from Mystic Connecticut to Foxboro Massachusetts.  We stayed at the Normandy Farms RV Resort which is only a couple of miles from Gillette stadium where the New England Patriots play.  It was a very nice park that deserves to be called a resort.  




They also had a really nice dog park but we did not get over there.  It was quite a walk and Pablo had a sore foot again.  We used the "blue stuff" on it and also soaked it in Epsom salts and it got better right away.  But while we were here, he had to take it easy.

We also took a little tour into Boston.  We drove to the station at Riverside and then rode the subway into the city.  We got off the subway at Boston Commons and purchased tickets for the hop on/hop off trolley.  Before we boarded the trolley we got some lunch at Legal Crossing and I had my first lobster roll.  It was delicious!  And very good chowder too.

Faneuil Hall Marketplace which was undergoing some restoration.


The old Statehouse built in 1713.  It was the seat of British government and the site of many debates about self-government which started the Revolution.
Granary Burying Ground.  Paul Revere and Samuel Adams are buried here.

Beacon Street in Beacon Hill across from Boston Commons. Fancy neighborhood.
