Friday in Concord

We got to squeeze in one more meetup on our last day! Chris' cousin Bill was in town starting a day earlier, so we were so lucky to get to have breakfast with him Friday morning at a great local bakery. It was fun to hear his cooking and fishing stories! And of the trouble Chris got into as a boy!



Then we went to Minute Man National Park in Concord . The exhibits and movie were incredible, but the walk to Old North Bridge was even better.

The girls completed their Junior Ranger booklets and earned another badge. The ranger there was so nice!



After that, we were all fading fast. We went to Sleepy Hollow Cemetery, and drove by Louisa May Alcott's house:



We drove the Battle drive from Concord to Lexington, but didn't stop much. We did see the battle green in Lexington, and the house where Paul Revere rode to to warn Samuel Adams and John Hancock that the Regulars were coming:






After a yummy Thai lunch in downtown Lexington, we hit the road for home. We drove over half way, and made it almost to Buffalo.

Today, Saturday, we finished our drive and made it home!! It's sunny and 60 today, a far cry from the cloudy, misting, blustery 30-40 degree days we had all week! It was a great trip, but we're glad to be home!
