Today is Sept. 24 and we are flying home to Vancouver, oh but wait, we have a few hours before the plane leaves. We have time to visit some historic sites of the revolutionary war. From the main road into Concord, MA you can see the
“battle road” during the 1775 war this is the road the settlers and the British used and homes and taverns are along its side. This road stretched all the way from Boston to Lake Champlain. Reenactments of the first battle are performed to show tourist the life and events of that first day. We went to a national visitor center and watched a very informative movie.
Then on the road we went. 
The Meriam house was close to the road for the British and an historical home that they broke in to to see if any rebels were hold up in there. 
Our last stop was the house that Nathaniel Hawthorn lived in while he lived in Concord,MA. He bought the home from another author family “the Alcott’s” The Alcott family called this home their “Hillside” home. When the Hawthorn’s lived in the house they called it the “Wayside” 
We had a fantastic time on our trip, and now it’s a memory. When we returned to Vancouver,WA Verne was set apart as the Bishop of the Fairway Village Ward.
