Boston

Monday, August 31, 2009
We spent most of the time my Dad was here in the car. We drove to Gettysburg and then returned to our house for one night before loading the RV back up and driving to Boston for the weekend. Matt had a Po*rsche autocross race outside of Boston. My Dad hadn't been to Boston in 41 years, since he left the Air Fo*rce. Unfortunately, our trip into Boston to see the sights didn't pan out as planned. It poured rain. We did get to spend the morning with my cousin who has been living in Boston for the last few months for work. It was good to see Rachel even if we didn't get to see Boston's sights.

Sunday was beautiful. We woke up early and drove to Wald*en Pond to see where Henry *David* Thoreau* derived his inspiration. We also toured the charming towns of Con*cord and Lexing*ton. (Hey, when you travel with this former U.S. History teacher you're going to get the full American History tour.) Driving around we discovered a lovely farm/farmstand and we couldn't resist visiting and loading up on their produce and goodies.

While we were sightseeing, Matt was racing. He had a great autocross and came in first place. We managed to squeeze in some time at the track watching his runs in between our touring.
