Description:
|
BEACON HILL. Take an afternoon stroll through the oldest botanical garden in the United States and get a feel for Boston's charm and grace. The park's pond has been famous since 1877 for its swan boats, which offer leisurely cruises during warmer months. If you enjoyed reading "The Trumpet of the Swans" by E.B. White (which is set in the area), then you'll particularly enjoy the surroundings. Plus, children love the adorable statues that represent ducklings from Robert McCloskey's "Make Way for Ducklings." |

| | Central Park........... Eat your heart out. The Commons is a small yet well done area. The presentation of the seasonal flowers is excellent. If you are there, make sure and ride the "Swan Boats" A must do tradition in Boston. |
