Mom and Dad came into town to visit. They spoiled me rotten while they were here. We had so much fun! I’m getting to be an old pro and giving tour guides through Boston and I haven’t gotten sick of it yet! So, come visit me and I’ll show you around :)
The night they flew in, we went to Barking Crab for dinner. yum!
Mom was sooo excited to get her fresh lobster :) I got the crab and corn chowder which was so delicious and Dad got fried shrimp. We all shared. I don’t think I can eat another frozen shrimp again.
The next day, we headed to Lexington and Concord
Our first stop was The Orchard House. The house where Louisa May Alcott wrote “Little Women”
The house is on the left and the school house is on the right, where Mr. Alcott taught school
Next we went to Walden Pond and found one beautiful tree that had fall leaves
Then we went to Old North Bridge where the first shots were fired of the Revolutionary war.
This beautiful tree was near the Old North Bridge
After Old North Bridge, we stopped by the Minute Man visitors center and watched a short film about the ride of Paul Revere and other riders who warned the colonists that the British were coming.
Then, we headed up to Sharon Vermont to the birthplace of Joseph Smith
It was so beautiful there. On the drive up, we were able to see lots of fall leaves. When we stepped out of the car at the visitors center, there was church music playing in the trees…I thought I had died and gone to heaven
