Boston... Day 5

 Today Thad took us to see a few more things before our flight.  We saw the Old North Bridge where the first shots were fired on April 19th.  We drove along the path that the British walked all night to fight the Minute Men.  We saw the Lexington Green, Sleepy Hollow Cemetery, and Walden Pond.  We had a nice walk around that and saw where Thoreau's house was.  We saw the "Little Women" home that Louisa May Alcott based the story off of.  We then went back to the Wright's house for lunch, picked up some cannoli's from Mike's Pastry and then headed to the airport.  We arrived home at about 1 AM and were SO tired, but what an AMAZING trip that we had!
