| Concord Battle |
Today was a much more relaxing day than yesterday. First, we went to Lexington and Concord to see where the "Shot heard around the world" happened. We went to the Battle Green where the attack at Lexington took place--8 Colonists were killed, and then retreated-not firing back at the British.We then went on a tour around town to relive what happened, and saw various buildings that Paul Revere, John Hancock, Sam Adams and the militia went. Then the tour took us to Concord, where the Colonists were attacked again, but this time we fired back. (This was the first time the Colonists fought back, and really started the war.) We also saw Ralph Waldo Emerson and Louisa May Alcott's houses--we just drove by them. Then we had a great lunch in Lexington--a HUGE cup of ice cream! Then it was back to Boston to go on an old Clipper ship around the harbor. Dan and the kids helped raise the sails. Later, we wanted to give the kids something to think about, and took them to Harvard University. (It is never too early to start planning!) It was another great day!
