Day 7 was a high light for some of our travelers, the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library. Intuition would lead you to believe that JFK's library would be located on the Harvard Campus, but it was actually built across the bay at Columbus Point over looking the water and the Boston skyline, a perfect location for someone who loved to sail.

After the library we took a quick walk down Hanover Street past the Paul Revere statue (start of the Freedom Trail) to Mike's Pastry to pick up some of Mike's famous cannolis (Vito's favorite). They were absolutely amazing.


The bakery had something for everyone including cookies, chocolate covered pretzels, cakes, cheesecakes, and even some Boston Cream Pie.



After our sweet treats we headed over to an Italian deli to pick up some snacks for the plane ride home. It was identical to a deli you would actually find in Italy....Prosciutto anyone?







We had some extra time until we had to be at the airport so our driver Ron took us around historic Boston to see the parks, churches, courthouses and some famous streets where Margo pointed out where some well known people have homes.
Our flight was not bad at all, unlike the in flight movie they played. Fortunately, we arrived on time and no one lost their luggage. As Katherine always says, it is wonderful to travel but there's nothing like going home to sleep in your own bed.
