Boston in a day

5.00It takes 5 hours to get there and 5 to return. The only free time is about 1:30 for lunch. There is a lot of walking. The Boston Tea Party stop is just bathroom, store, no guide no explanation of what was there, so we did not really enjoy at all. Guide was nice.
Happy Couple's Day trip
