The first time I went to Boston was for a camp trip in fifth grade with my sleepaway camp.  After that, it was to attend my cousin's graduation from Wellesley College.  Finally, my latest trip was to visit my friends from college and abroad.  Boston is one of the oldest cities in the country rich in history and I had a different experience each time I visited.  I went to Boston's Children Museum and got to experience a Duck Tour my first time in Boston.  My second time I was able to explore the beautiful campus of Wellesley College while visiting the New England Aquarium and the Science Museum.  There are also a lot of historical places such as the Freedom Trail and John Adam's House. We also spent a good amount of time at Quincy Market.  My most recent visit comprised of shopping along Newbury Street and Harvard Square, taking a swan boat ride in Boston Public Gardens, and walking through Copely Square.  Boston is a great city that offers many different excursions and attractions.
