Tahoe Tuesday

Hi everyone!

Can you believe summer is going by so quickly!? I am enjoying the sunshine everyday.

Last week Michelle's parents came to visit us so this week I'm making sure I get caught up on all my naps!

I hope you can get caught up on any missed naps this week too!

Lexington and Concord

Remember learning about Paul Revere in school? The Lexington and Concord National Historic Site brings the night that Revere road his horse all the way from Boston warning "the British are coming!" to life.

The old road that Revere took to warn everyone that the British were coming to seize the militia's weapons is still there with a few buildings along the route.

Paul Revere was caught that night by the British but the word was spread by lots of other people that heard his warning.

The colonists were preparing to fight the British and had weapons stored up for their militia in case they needed to use them. 

The British decided it was time to get rid of those weapons. The colonists knew this might happen so they were prepared to stop the British soldiers from seizing their weapons. The plan worked and the day after Paul Revere warned everyone the British were coming, the colonists worked together to chase the British all the way back to Boston. The colonists hid in the woods and terrorized the British soldiers as they tried to march in an orderly fashion.

This bridge is were the first British soldier was shot and the Revolutionary war was officially on.

Boston Fine Arts Museum and Fenway

Matt and I enjoyed an afternoon/evening exploring the Boston Museum of Fine Arts. There's so much to see in the museum that after about 5 hours of exploring we still felt like we could have spent more time seeing things.

The museum has ancient art from Egypt (my favorite), modern art and so much more!

We walked over to Fenway to see all the action during a Red Sox game.

We also experienced the Boston subway system!

More Boston adventures to come over the next few days.
