One of the highlights of the trip was our visit to Boston’s Museum of the Fine Arts. I spent Mother’s Day looking at some of the world’s most famous pieces of art.
The murals on the ceiling at the museum were painted by Sargent, one of my favorite artists who is primarily known for his landscapes. 
Boston’s public library is absolutely gorgeous. If Midland had a library that looked like this, I would probably buy fewer books on Amazon! (I am currently trudging my way through Ulysses - it is a tedious read).
Across from Boston’s public library in the downtown area, we visited Trinity Church which was founded in 1733.
We then headed to the North End for dinner.
Boston has some wonderful parks which are of course full of history. Here are some photos from the Public Garden in Boston, adjacent to the Boston Common.
This is also the park in the book “Make Way for Ducklings.”
The Charles River divides the cities of Boston & Cambridge. Once on the water, you can catch some breathtaking views of the cities.
Mike will only be in Boston through July of 2010 & we are hoping to make one more trip up there before he leaves. We had a great time - thanks for being such a great host & tourguide Mike!
Mike helped us score some tickets to a Red Sox game! Of course Brian made sure that we loaded up on gear at the official Red Sox store.
