View of the Boston Common

View of the Boston Common
Back in 2006, a tethered helium balloon ride was offered on the Boston Common. The day I went, it was rather windy which kept the balloon spinning around and affording wonderful views of the city. I had a great time leaning over the side and taking photos, but my husband did not appreciate the spinning and vowed never to ride a balloon again.

The Soldiers and Sailors Monument in Boston Common was constructed between 1874 and 1877 to commemorate the Civil War dead. It is located on Flag Staff Hill and is 126 feet tall. The shallow water near it is known as the Frog Pond and is a favorite in the summer for wading and in the winter for ice skating.
