You could also do the Trolley or the "Duck Tour" which stop at many great spots. You can get on and off as many times as you want. You can then gauge how long it might take to walk to the next stop of just do a short walk and return to the spot where you got off. PM me with questions.
Also: Fourth of July is going to be very crowded so get in town early. Most of all enjoy the area.
Keepsake Quilting in NH has to be one of your stops and there are great chairs outside the shop for DH :)

Just a word to the wise about Boston.........Unless things have changed since we visited, traffic is a little crazy. It's a wonderful place with lot's to see and do but it's not easy to dr
Been doing a great deal of research and talking about this 4th of July idea. Dad is ok with getting up early (5am) to take the train/subway into downtown to get to the Hatch Shell early enough to get to hear the music later. This must be a major "bucket" list thing for him as he is NOT an early riser! I'm hoping we can get a taxi when we get to the downtown station to take us to the Hatch Shell so Mom doesn't have to walk too far. Still checking on that part.
Thanks to everyone for their comments. I've put them all on a list and we're checking layout and travel spots to fit them in.!
