Since our last talk a couple weeks ago, Laura and I have been busy working our minimum wage jobs and taking day trips out on our days off to see the surrounding area. The boys have free reign of the campground and help me out with the small things.
We were able to get down and see Rhode Island and Connecticut last week all in the same day. We are going to visit New York City in a couple weeks as well as Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine. When we leave here at the end of the month we are going to head to Syracuse to see the Hay's again and then move down to Washington DC, Virginia and maybe see Harpers Ferry if possible. We are going to spend a few months in Florida to ride out the winter if all goes according to plan.
We went to visit the Minute Man National Park in Lexington/Concord last week and it was very informative. We were able to see how the colonists lived before the revolutionary war as well as seeing great presentations by the national park rangers. It was absolutely aw inspiring to touch a tavern that was built in the 1700's and that was most likely visited by some of our founding fathers.

I have been slacking in my posting duties since we have been here in WestHampton and I am hoping Laura is keeping you all up to date. We visited Boston and Cape Cod earlier this week and will be posting those pictures later.
