Boston, Maine, & New Hampshire

Fenway Park - Brad's favorite place. We did a tour and they took us all over. One of the pictures is of some of the original seats from 1934. They were not fun to sit on for very long.




Freedom Trail and Cheers - We walked a little of the Freedom Trail. We went past Paul Revere house, the Old North Church, Bunker Hill and the original Cheers.



Cranberry Harvest Festival - Some of our guests had told us about the cranberry harvest that happens in October. Brad did a little research and found out where it was happening. We went out to a place on the Cape and saw them harvesting the cranberries. Cranberries grow on vines in bogs and then they fill the bog up with a little water and take a machine through them that knocks the berries off the vines. Then they fill the bog up with more water and get a vacuum hose and suck up the berries into a large truck. The berries then go to the Ocean Spray factory that is just down the street. The other interesting thing we learned, is that they rent out bees for a few weeks to pollinate the cranberries.


Plymouth - Brad's ancestors came into America here. His 9th great grandpa was the first governor of the pilgrims.

Wow, That cranberry fest looks pretty cool!

Thanks so much for driving up to look at the leaves, and dip your toes in the atlantic, and almost be eaten by a turkey. ( I can't wait until that thing out of our yard and onto our table. Talk about ornery!)

You guys are the BEST!
