Tea Party

Our family visited the Boston Tea Party Ship and Museum, where we had the opportunity  to enjoy an interactive tour and re-enactment of one of the historical events that led to the American Revolution. The December 16, 1773 Boston Tea Party.

Fun In Boston Harbor

We had a Mother's Day Family Outing to Boston's Waterfront. We visited the Boston Tea Party Ships and Museum, and had a splendid time on board a replica of H.M.S. Eleanor, where we got to participate in a re-enactment of the 1773 Boston Tea Party, the first act of nonviolent direct action that led to the American Revolution. In true Patriot spirit my daughter Violeta is enjoying tossing the tea chests into Boston Harbor...

Young Patriots!

Viterbo and Violeta had a blast taking part in the "Boston tea Party" re-enactment, throwing the "Tea Crates" into the harbor. Lucky for them these environmental friendly replicas were a lot lighter than the original chests, which full of Tea weighed up to 200 pounds each!

Viterbo with Samuel Adams Statue

Viterbo posing with Samuel Adams. Not just a great Boston Beer, Sam Adams was a real patriot who argued that Bostonians and other American colonists should not pay taxes unless granted representation in parliament. Adams and the Sons of Liberty originally rallied under the slogan "No taxation without representation!" When the British response to that demand was contempt and repression, the call for liberty and revolution grew stronger.
