As for the other Boston activities, the majority of them are part of the freedom trail. If the weather is good, we can walk the whole thing in a day (including potty breaks and other breaks for the kids) like you planned, except the USS Constitution and Bunker Hill Monument(which are better to drive to). You will probably want to do Cheers and the public gardens/more of Boston Common on a different day unless you don't plan to eat there (it can be kind of slow). The Ye Old Union Oyster Houses is really neat to see and worth going in to look around, but it is expensive and the food is not that great. It is faster and cheaper to eat in Quincy Market (right down the street and also historic, but it is now a food court). I would also highly recommend visiting Copley Plaza (where the Boston Public Library is (you'll feel like you are in Europe) and Newbury Street- a famous shopping street where the shops are in brownstone houses)(there is even a huge H&M). We will also make sure to have you drive by Fenway so you can see the Green Monster! You are going to have fun!
