Col. Robert Gould Shaw Memorial
Overlooking a corner of Boston Common, this memorial took 14 years to complete - the artistry is amazing. It commemorates the first free black unit of the American Army (the "Union Army's 54th Colored Regiment"), led by Col. Robert Gould Shaw.

Legal Seafood
We ate supper at Legal Seafood tonight, in the mall that is attached to our hotel. Delicious. I had clam chowder and a crab cake sandwich. Jumbo lump crab meat, very, very good. Bill had a seafood roll that looked divine, he said it was very good.
Alphonso joined us just as our food was served, he had already eaten out, but had a beer with us. He regaled the kids with stories about Bill from grad school at Ole Miss. The kids told him every story they could think of to try and make him laugh. We had a great time.
The kids went swimming again tonight. They are now sacked out and it is quiet here in our little domain. We have adjoining rooms, which is a good setup for us.
It's supposed to be cold tomorrow (high of 40). I'm thinking it will be perfect weather for hiking the Freedom Trail. We'll see. And, Josie's 8th birthday is tomorrow. :)

Swimming pool
This is where we have spent the last 2 evenings, and presumably tomorrow night, too. That's fine with us, helps them sleep better. ;)

Zakim Bridge
This is a staid (sp?) cable bridge, 10 lanes across, part of the Big Dig project (which lasted 12 years), that buried an interstate that goes through the middle of Boston. Impressive.
