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!

Boston... Day 4

Today we went to the Minute Man Visitors Center and watched a presentation about April 19, 1775.  The day of Paul Revere's ride "one if by land, two if by sea."  We saw his capture site as well.  Then we went to Maine and went to a beach to see the Atlantic Ocean.  We played on the beach for about an hour and then went to a lighthouse.  It was really neat!  We got lobster for the drive back to Boston and then made chicken inasal for the Wright's.
