Papa John came to town


My dad flew in from Idaho on Oct. 30. He could only stay for two days, so every moment was action packed!

First, we visited the Minuteman Museum and walked the trail.

It was a beautiful day!

This is supposedly the exact location where Paul Revere was stopped by the British on his run.



After lunch and shopping in Concord, we visited Walden Pond. I love this picture. My dad looks just like Thoreau.

This is a replica of his cabin.



That night was trick-or-treating, and of course we dragged my dad along! We were hoping for a costume, but I guess after 60 it's not acceptable.



The next day we ventured downtown to walk to Freedom Trail. We made a quick stop at the carousel and park at Frog Pond.



Lunch at The Oyster House and shopping at Fanueil Hall.


We eventually made it to Mike's Pastry and got one of everything...so good!


Two days with no naps was a little risky, but the kids did great! Edie almost made it to the end of the trail.

That night we played with play-do. Nate made a Red Coat. Edie made a blue mountain. I made a turkey and a ballerina and Dad made a boy rolling a ball.

We had a blast! We slept REALLY well those nights: utter exhaustion.

Hope you can come again soon, Dad!

It sounds like you had so much fun. You really packed a lot of activities in those 2 days. You know how to take advantage of each moment. The pictures are great!
