Hi, I'm Jamie and I survived the climb up this!! It's the Bunker Hill (actually called Breed's Hill) monument in Boston. It was 294 steps of out of breathness, leg achiness and children pushiness. But I did it!! I went with just Noah and Abby. Daddy (that lucky nut) was sitting with a sleeping Joshua in the car. The kids were nothing if not mean about my slow ascent. I mean come on, it's a lot of steps. Once we hit 100, I made them stop every 25 for a quick breather!! Abby told me going down I wasn't allowed to stop. But I did. It's hard going down too!! We did get a great view of the city from up there (even if it was rainy and foggy) although there was a huge drain in the center of the floor up at the top that scared me to death and I would not let the kids go near it!! (It dropped allllll the way down!!). I had wiggly jello legs afterwards but I was glad we did it. My legs however were furious!! So much so that for the next few days if I wanted to even step up on a curb, I paid for it!! So here's some pics of the view and the kids at the top.
