Austin to Boston: Boston MA + Hingham MA

Boston, Massachusetts
3900 miles
80° F

We finally arrived in Boston!


I have to admit we haven't seen too much of downtown yet. We'll be sure to come back and get a better tour. On a weekend. When parking is available.

Hingham, Massachusetts
We camped at Wompatuck State Park by Hingham, a suburb of Boston. We are fairly spoiled, camp-wise. The weather has cooled a great deal since camping in Georgia, but we stayed warm because Stephen brought an electric blanket from Texas... (There are electric hookups at most campsites since RVs need them.)

Here's most of my cooking gear. Grilled corn on the cob, stew, s'mores, we got it.


In Hingham, we sought yet another Architecture History Class building, Old Ship Meeting House.

Meeting Houses are the churches of Puritans, although they considered it to be a public building with no particular sacred value. Completed in 1681, it has a square form and the interior is divided by family box seating areas. The church is now utilized by Unitarian Universalists. I doubt that makes Purtians happy.



Hingham was another beautiful little town that excited us. There are several lovely churches and other buildings.
