Boston: Boston Common & Beacon Street

After we checked out an apartment in East Boston, we took the Subway to Boston Common. It is kinda like Boston's Central Park. It is one of the oldest parks in the US, dating back to 1634. We had a fun time walking around, seeing everything the park had to offer and enjoy the great weather!

Such a pretty day!

The Swanboats (actually next to Boston Common in Boston Park)

The Soldiers and Sailors Monument

Right across from the park is Beacon Hill and the famous Beacon St. The street is lined with beautiful row houses and is one of the most expensive neighborhoods in Boston. Many of the houses date back to the early 1800s, but have been impeccably renovated.

While on the street, we decided to be true tourists and stop off at the original Cheers to have a drink. Didn't look much like the set they had on TV, but still cool to visit, relax and have a brew.

I could see myself living here...
