concord and lexington

for my mom's last day in boston
we went to lexington and concord.
first we met her cute friend
at a sandwich shop.

{the drooling and the chubby cheeks? he get's both of those from me.}

then we went out to 

old north bridge

where the battles first began

in the revolutionary war,

between the 13 original colonies

and the british.

you've probably heard of it as

"the shot heard 'round the world."

{once again, i will tell you to look up this

information yourself. i am no expert on u.s.

history.}

 

then off we went to sleepy hollow cemetery

to see the graves of these famous authors
several who i have read
and love.
we payed our respects...

 

and then i grave robbed.

do forgive me.

i don't believe louisa may alcott

would be that upset with me.

what is she going to do with 40¢?

i, for one, have to pay parking meters.

and these dimes came in quite handy.

and then we were decided to take advantage
of wade babysitting miles in the car
and took funny pictures with our umbrellas.

{do you recognize this umbrella?

the one i wanted for valentine's day?

i never received it.

my husband failed me that day

 in the umbrella department.

but i got an ipod nano instead,

so i guess that makes up for it.

but! he did eventually buy it for me.

on the 4th of july?

the forecast said rainy.

it wasn't.

i didn't end up needing it.

but i got my umbrella!

and i must say, it is quite the umbrella.

better than any i've ever owned, 

in that it completely blocks the rain from

all directions.

also, it makes me feel like i'm 

in my own little world.

and i like that.

the end.}

momma,
please come back and play.
love you!
