April 18 2008 lexington @ concord

We stayed at Tedann's house this morning just hanging out and having fun together. As soon as she got home from work which was about 1:00 We headed to Lexington and Concord. on our way we stopped at the Cheesecake Factory for a belated lunch it was fabulous. We all have extra yummy chicken dishes,but we were so full we did not get any cheesecake,bummer. Next we went to Waldon pond State Reservation. Waldon pond was once home to the renowned author Henry David Thoreau. Now part of the Massachusetts Forests and Parks system, Waldon Pond state Reservation includes 462 acres if protected open space so that vusutirs from near and far may come to experience the pond that inspired Thoreau, as well as to hike, swim, fish, canoe and cross country ski. A replica of Thoreau's house is also close to Waldon pond and we visited it as well.Next we were on our drive to Lexington and to the Minute Man National Historical park is located. They were preparing for the reenactment of the battle of Lexington and Concord to start the Revolutionary War. It happened on April 19 1775 . We missed the reenactment by a day but there was plenty of men dressed in there early American atire preparing we asked them if I could take there picture and they said sure. After our trip we talked at Tedann's place and watched a movie.
