Harborwalk | C. Columbus Park + Long Wharf

Boston is a great walking city. I walk everywhere! On Sunday I headed out to wander and take pictures of a gorgeous spring in bloom. 
Christopher Columbus Park right down the street from me is home to some of the most beautiful Tulips I've ever seen.
They go on for days. Glorious.
The park also boasts beautiful trees in full bloom.
I headed across the park and out onto the docks of Long Wharf North.
I continued along the beautiful Harborwalk.
The wharf has intricate stonework right under your feet and amazing views across the harbor in all directions.
All that walking worked up an appetite.
If you are in Boston looking for something to do after Faneuil Hall shopping, North End lunching or a trip to the Aquarium, follow the bright blue signs and take in a Downtown Boston Harborwalk. I know I'll be taking many more as the warm weather sets in for good!

  2. I absolutely love walking around Boston too! I keep seeing those beautiful tulips on everyones blogs I really need to get downtown to see them!

    As for your question on my blog matron of honor = married, maid is not. You don't have to have both at all, I just do because I wanted my sister and my best friend (I was maid of honor in my best friend's wedding last year). My fiance has 2 brothers, so he did 2 best men so it made sense for us. My sister has never been in a wedding before either so I thought it might be nice for her to have someone to split the "work" with...though they haven't had to do that much, but I think it's worked out well so far :)

    I love walking around Boston. It's my favorite (and cheapest) weekend activity. And I'm soo impatient too. Damn tourists. They should be confined to Yawkey for a Sox game and that's it. :) j/k j/k
