Pastor Clouse sponsored a Christian Heritage Tour for the missionaries in attendance. They bused us to Boston for the day to view the following sites:
-Bunker Hill Monument
-USS Constitution (virtual tour)
-Old North Church
-Copp's Hill Burying Ground (more info)
-Paul Revere House (more info)
-Faneuil Hall
-Boston Massacre Site (more info)
-Old State House (oldest surviving public building in Boston)
-Park Street Church (formerly pastored by Harold Ockenga)
-King's Chapel (first church of England in Boston)
-D.L. Moody conversion site
-Tremont Temple Baptist Church (first Intergrated church in America)
Our favorite part of the tour was the ferry ride across Boston Harbor (probably since the air was cool and it was a very hot day in the city).
The day was a special time for me as a dad to take Jordan and introduce him to sites and events in American History and Church History.
For lunch we stopped at Quincy Market (take a virtual tour HERE). Pastor Clouse gave each missionary $5 to help with the cost of lunch, so Jordan and I had $10 to spend. We decided to buy some Italian penne pasta with bell peppers and sausage. I promised Jordan an ice cream cone, so I ordered him a small vanilla cone. Look at the photo above...does that look like a small cone to you? It had three scoops! Needless to say, I HAD to help Jordan manage the licks due to the hot weather.
On the way home, Jordan did not sleep, but was very tuckered out. Later on that night, he fell asleep pretty much as soon as he hit the pillow (which is rare, by the way).
A public thank you to Merrimack Valley Baptist Church and Pastor Clouse for hosting this tour. It was very informational and enjoyable!
