A beautiful old cemetery on a hill overlooking the town of Concord. We enjoyed reading the gravestones and just thinking about what it must've been like two- and three-hundred years ago. Some of the burials took place in the 1600s.
This is the Wright Tavern (built in 1747). It was the headquarters of the Minutemen early on the morning of April 19, 1775 (the day that the American Revolutionary War started). Later that day it became the headquarters of the British.
I love this town! The shops are quaint and a lot of buildings have been kept the way they were hundreds of years ago. The houses are cute and sit right next to the road. Very different than the west coast.

We arrived in Boston on Tuesday night. On Wednesday morning we drove to Walden Pond. David has been reading Henry David Thoreau for years and years and really wanted to see Walden Pond, where Thoreau lived for about two years. The weather was beautiful - cold, but sunny and gorgeous. We met David's sister, Debbie and the three of us walked around the pond (it was bigger than I expected) and stopped at the site of Thoreau's cabin. I think it was the highlight of our trip for David. And I liked it, too!
