Boston Temple with Mom and Aunt Connie

I met Dick Danjou at the Temple. We both happen to work on the Wednesday night shift. Mom and Aunt Connie wanted to go to the Temple but I had to take my car to work. I asked Brother Danjou if he would be willing to stop by and pick them up on his way to work at the Temple and I would pick them up when I got done with work. He was so kind as usual and was more than happy to take them to the Temple with him.

Dick Danjou helping Mom and Aunt Connie explore Concord and Lexington

The hard part about the trip for when my mom and Aunt Connie were here was that I had to work most of the days while they were here. I got some of my friends to show them around while I had to work. One of the days I had Dick Danjou take them around to the Concord and Lexington area. 
Buckman Tavern
The oldest tavern in Lexington, Here, about 77 Minutemen gathered in the early hours of April 19, 1775, while awaiting the British regulars. 
The Minuteman Statue at the Lexington Battle Green 
Munroe Tavern
More than 300 years old, this tavern served as a temporary headquarters and field hospital for British Brigadier General Earl Percy and his 1,000 reinforcements on the afternoon of April 19, 1775. Fourteen years later, President Washington dined at the tavern when he visited the Lexington battlefield in 1789.
I believe this is just a random house that my mom liked.
Hancock-Clarke House
Home of the Hancocks and the Clarkes, this house was the destination of Paul Revere on the night of April 18, 1775, as he and William Dawes rode from Boston to warn Samuel Adams and John Hancock of the coming of British Troops. 
Connie and Dick
I meet up with the three of them after work and we had dinner at a fun little Italian Diner. Then we went over to the Old North Bridge.

After the bridge Dick took us down to the shooting range that is back in the woods and far off the path.
Dick has an old Riffle that you have to pack with a ball and gun powder

Aim-Fire
Such a natural look. LOL
After the riffle range we headed out to Kimball Farms for some of the best ice cream in the Boston area.

Thank you Dick for taking my Mom and Aunt Connie around for the day to show them the sites and to have a good time.
