This is a long time coming. Mom and Dad came back in October and I am just finishing blogging the rest of the trip
On Sunday, we went to church then we headed to Quincy to see the John Adam’s houses. I hadn’t been before and was so glad we decided to go. The John Adam’s house is now one of my favorite historical places to go.
The first house is John Adam’s birthplace and house growing up. The next is the house John and Abigail purchased after the war and after living in Europe
The incredible thing about this house is that it was in the Adam’s family for generations. Everything in the house is original to the Adam’s family.
The library was my absolute favorite! It was built by(I think) John Adam’s grandson. It was really interesting to learn all the about John Adam’s son, John Quincy and how intelligent he was. Most all the books are from John Quincy’s library that he collected all over the world. They wouldn’t let us take pictures in the library, so I had to take a picture of a picture. The library sits next to the house and is a separate building. I kept thinking how much Breck would LOVE this.
Next stop was the Longfellow house. I think George Washington lived in it during the war. It is in Cambridge, just across the street from our church building that was burned down and Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck’s house :)
Then we went to Mount Auburn Cemetery. The most beautiful cemetery you will ever go to.
This is the view of Boston from the top of that tower.
Me and mom in front of my house. Isn’t it cool? We call it the Nottinghill Mansion or the Nottinghill B&B. Take your pic :)
