After all the historical houses we paid a visit to the North Bridge (Can you find Lilly on the bridge?).
The bridge is the location of the first battle of the revolution in 1775.
The children enjoyed running around as the weather cooled. You can see the storm clouds rolling in. We had fantastic weather until we got in the car to go home, then a huge thunderstorm hit. We were very lucky that none of our sight-seeing was interrupted.
At the bridge we learned about the Colonial militiamen who dropped their farming tools and picked up their weapons to defend their land against the British. Lilly was more interested in practicing her ballet than learning on the bridge.
Jack at the statue.
After the bridge we decided it was time to feed the children and we went to a really cute cafe in Concord.
Lilly ordered a muffin for lunch. We were sad it was so small.
This concludes day 1 of our vacation. Are you exhausted too??

What an amazing day! Love all the photos - now to decide which one will adorn my computer.....Lilly on the bridge, Jack next to the monument, or the picture of the two of them.....
I really had a hard time finding Lilly on the bridge. What an amazing historical sight to visit, I love the Revolutionary War. I like that you crammed so much sight seeing into one day, and your children are so well behaved, what a perfect vacation!
I love that Jack is carrying a Disney "Cars" car.
