Doug, Oliver and I went to New England over Oliver's High School Fall Break. True to his word, Doug's gift, promised back in May, for Oli's Birthday/My Mother's Day was realized. We absolutely had a BLAST! We flew into Boston, Massachusetts, last Thursday and spent 5 days making some really terrific memories! Some of the highlights were of Salem, Plymouth, Lexington, Concord, Sleepy Hollow, House of Seven Gables, Plymouth Rock, Mayflower II, all the sights along the Freedom Trail (Climbing 294 steps in the monument at Bunker Hill was a bit more difficult than Doug and I experienced 4 years before..but it was definitely done!), the historical North Bridge - "The Shot Heard Around The World," burial sites of a few famous...Paul Revere, Samuel Adams, "Mother Goose," Mary and Giles Corey, Alcott, Thoreau, Emerson, Longfellow and Hawthorne. We also drove up to Maine and enjoyed the rocky shoreline of the coast. The Autumn colors were totally in its peak and quite breathtaking! Thank You, THANK YOU!!! to Doug for his thoughtful gift and for making the time to be with Oli and I! It was so much fun and we will always remember our weekend in New England with fondness and great love!
