Lexington, MASS

This is the very spot in Lexington, Massachusetts where the "shot heard 'round the world" was fired that begin the American Revolution. This town was so very rich with history. Much civilian blood was shed on these grounds. A bunch of farmers showed up to take a stand against the British Redcoats. Sadly, they were fired upon, and the only weapons most of the farmer's had were muskets, which didn't do much. It was awesome to walk around the town and think about these brave men.

Throughout New England there are beautiful trees with white steeples in between. I JUST loved seeing that! We saw Paul Revere's home as well as the North Church where the "one if by land, two if by sea" lanterns were hung.

Isn't it strange that the older we get, the more we appreciate American history?
