We traveled to the "Thickly Settled" regions of Massachusetts to visit my brother Jay. Between rotaries and the road signs that say "Thickly Settled" you realize you are not in Kansas anymore. We ventured out to see the local haunts and ended up at a butterfly sanctuary. The boys were really freaked out by all the butterflies flipping and flying around.
Apparently I was the lucky one as one wildly flapping fella landed on my arm.
Here is a picture of me and Jay. We snapped it at the last second before we left to prove that we were indeed there!
Next stop, Concord, Massachusetts to see where the British were coming. Below are the boys on the Old North Bridge.
We headed east until we couldn't go anymore and landed on Cape Cod. Even though it was a bit chilly and we were the only ones on the beach, we dipped our toes in the sand for a bit.
Ethan has always wanted to try sushi so we found a reputable Japanese restaurant and muddled our way through the menu. Ben and Will absolutely love Mi so soup.
Ethan absolutely loved the sushi!
On the way home we stopped in Newport, Rhode Island to walk along the mansions on the cliff walk.
For some reason this sign made me laugh. "Stay on the path. Steep cliffs. High Risk of Injury" I am especially fond of the illustration. Ahhhhhhhhhh!
There is a total count for states visited and miles logged. I will ask my statistically oriented spouse and fill you in later.
Wow, what a fun trip. I'd love to poke around in all those east-coast places someday! Lovely photos! Glad to hear the Maxwells hit the sushi!
