A Walk Down Freedom Lane: Boston on Saturday

cwest on 2005-06-13T20:01:16

My family and I will be in Boston this coming weekend for a small family vacation, while our family is still small. Or are we mid-sized? Whatever the case we are certainly not flagship material.

Moving on.

I was wondering if anyone was up for a stroll along the freedom trail with us. This is of course a very family friendly stroll since we are a family and we will have strollers with children in them. Non-traditional families and single participants are welcome to come. You are not required to pose as a family, nor must you affix cardboard families to yourself to fit in. All are welcome.

The date and time of this venture is, roughly speaking, Saturday June 18th at 10:30:00am. I suspect it's easiest to start at the south end, which also appears to be the beginning according to The Map ( http://thefreedomtrail.org/freedom_trail_map.pdf ). Although the map is nearly impenetrable, there is a nice red brick road we're to follow.

My calculations suggest that if we walk at roughly 0.833 miles/hour that's basically 25 yards/minute. That should be a nice casual pace that everyone can enjoy. This should also take into consideration moderate site-seeing and very minor tourist shopping and browsing. This leaves us at the USS Constitution at 13:30:00pm. (Note: This pace is not required but offered merely as a suggestion. There will be no enforcement of this pace.)

If you have any questions or suggestions please send them.

So please, join us at The Boston Common, otherwise known as number one (1) on your map. We look forward to meeting you.
