Boston Vortex and Freedom Trail

We found out there is a vortex in downtown Boston, right in front of King’s Chapel. It took us all day long to realize this phenomena was specific to the intersection of Tremont ST, Beacon ST, and School ST.

High Rock Tower and Pawsox fireworks

We had fun for nearly an hour as we explored the fairy homes.
