DAY 24

Day 24

We drove to the train station and and got on a train to Boston.  That was so easy.  When we got off at our station there was a full orchastra playing patrotic music and the atmosphere was one huge party.  It was so fun!  We walked the Freedom trail.

  We could still hear music at the end of God Bless America two fighter jet flew over really low.  Wow that was amazing!  We went to the North End and had Italian food...Mmmmm.  Then we headed off to see the USS Constitution

 but unfortantly it was closing for the day.  We stayed around the dock and enjoyed the view of all the big ships in the Boston Harbor.  We then headed towards the area where the Boston POPs were playing

.  We found a nice spot on the lawn and just relaxed listening to Jennifer Hudson and the Boston POPs.  It was Amazing!.  It started to get dark and they were building up to the beginning of the fireworks.  20 mins before it was to begin we heard a loud speaker announce that everyone had to evacuation because there was a huge lightening storm coming right over us.  There were soooo many people and they wanted us to take shelter under bridges.  Yeah right!  We immediately went into the Bathrooms.  Unfortunately, lots of people to refuge in the bathrooms as well and it got so hot and humid. After about 40 min we were finally allowed to go back and they started the fireworks.  

It was AWESOME!
I have never been to such an amazing firework show.  People were so patriotic and we felt like we were at a huge party.  As soon as the fireworks started it also started to rain.  
I mean RAIN!!!
  It was pouring and were all were drenched but no one cared it made it that much better.  What a great experience! 

Time for the train ride back...with thousands of others at the same time.  There were so many people, we came up with a plan to have everyone hold hands so we wouldn't get lost. As soon as the first train opened its door we all got push into the train and separated.  

Timothy was in front of me and we were right near the doors and the crown kept pushing to get in.  There was no more room on the train. everyone was touching someone else that is how close we were.  The crowd just kept pushing.  I was so scared for Tim, he was crying and I thought he was going to be crushed and suffocate.  I became mama bear and took my body and shoved against the crowed and was trying tell them there was a child on board.  Thank God the door finally shut.  At the next few stations we would have to live that scene all over.  They didn't care if there were people all the way to the door they still wanted in. It was really scary.  But then the train started to clear out and we had a fun ride home.  We all were so excited still about our Boston experience.  It was the Best!
