Recent Travels

This past fall we have been able to do a little bit of traveling. In September Anne came out to Boston for my birthday. We went to a whale museum in New Bedford, MA, Salem Witch Museum in Salem, MA and walked all over Boston. In October my parents drove out to Boston and we walked all over Boston, saw Plymouth Rock and a replica of the Mayflower in Plymouth, MA, went to the John Quincy Adams Mansion and tried candlepin bowling. In November we had the opportunity to go to New York City for the day on a bus trip with the company I work for. We loved taking in the sites of the city. The following are a few pictures from our adventures.

Whale Museum

Sperm Whale Skeleton. The museum had the most complete whale skeletons of any museum in US. It was about the history of whale hunting.

We toured the museum about the witch trials. The city of Salem was a beautiful town.

We took a tour of the Lexington Battle Green. This is where Paul Revere had rode his horse to warn the colonists of the British coming.

This is the famous Plymouth Rock along the coast in Plymouth, MA.

This is President John Quincy Adams family mansion. Almost everything inside was original to the house. It was amazing to see all the original artwork, dishes and furniture.This is the first presidential library. It is on the property of the Adams family mansion.
We went candlepin bowling with my parents. We all did terrible. The bowling ball is the size of a bocce ball and the pins are very narrow.
Times Square

We were walking down 5th Ave and saw a huge line up of fire trucks. These fire fighters were standing around and I saw someone else getting their picture taken with them. I decided to ask for a photo too. It was neat to be able to take a picture with the heroes of NYC.Me outside the Today show studio in Rockefeller Center.
Aaron in Central Park. I never realized how huge the park was. It is over 800 acres.
