There was lots of rain, and with only weekends, we didn’t get out to see too much until we were able to get to the Minute Man Ntn’l Historical Park. This the 16 mile road that the British took, to retrieve some cannons that were stolen while putting down the Revolutionary resistance, ending at the North Bridge with the Shot Heard ‘Round the World and the British retreat to Boston. The story is told at the visitor’s center and in plaques and buildings along the road. We saw where Paul Revere was captured, he was later questioned, and released (in time to join the resistence), the pub were early revolutionary leaders met, and learned how the NY forts we saw earlier this summer played a part in the revolution. It was really cool, being able to picture the 700 British soldiers marching, confident in the early hours of the day, only to end up surrounded by over 4,000 farmers and local people who showed up to push them back. Also throwing in pics of Jim, part of the farm and some kid stuff. I suck at video, so I didn’t capture Jim shooting the baseball for the gender reveal, but G-Kind #2 is a GIRL! 🙂
