On Monday, we loaded our rental–we couldn’t fit all the gear and people into our own car–and headed to the coast. The weather was gorgeous and we took full advantage of it on Salisbury Beach. It was even warm enough to make it necessary to brave the cold waters of the Atlantic to cool off.
On Tuesday, we headed over to Newburyport to do some whale-watching. The weather held out until we got back to camp. We managed to stay mostly dry, but we had to eat our supper under our shade tarp.
On Wednesday, we headed off to Concord and Lexington to take in some history. Here L and I are standing on the bridge where the American militia first fired upon British soldiers just hours after Paul Revere’s famous ride. It’s the site of the famous “shot heard round the world”.
