Mothers Day 2008


I had a great day with Mom today. We ate lots of yummy brunch items at Amrheins. Then we scooted over to the Adams National Historic Site. We went to the birthplace of both John and John Quincy Adams and took a tour of the Old House. The coolest thing was the stone library.....which houses a large percentage (the other 3700 volumes are kept at the Boston Public Library) of John Adams' book collection. This collection includes not only copies of Webster's.....but also Johnson and Worcester's dictionaries. Cool huh? We also went to a play called a Timeless Love Story, The Love Letters of John and Abigail Adams in the carriage house....which was fun too. Plus the grounds were beautiful.....and all the lilacs and wisteria were in bloom. You should plan a trip to Adams National Historic Park if you haven't done so yet. It is very cool! Happy Mother's Day mom! Hope you had fun....I know I did!
