Out East Part 3

We took a walk back in history when we visited Plimoth Plantation. We talked to actors who portray actual historical characters and they respond as if itwas really 1627!
We spent a day traveling from Lexington to Concord, just as Paul Rever did on his famous ride - except we actually made it to Concord. He got captured along the way. A group of Patriot reenactors were on site at a tavern along the road to Concord. It was a real family affair with moms, dads and kids sharing the lifestyle of 1775 activities.
We had fun golfing at several courses during our trip. This one happens to be in the Bershire Mountains near our time share. No hole-in-ones on this trip.
On the way home we spent the night at a KOA Kamping Kabin near Notre Dame so we had to walk around the campus to see the sights. This next picture is of the library which faces the football stadium. The mosiaic is often called "Touchdown Jesus" because it is visible from inside the stadium over the Notre Dame end zone!
Well, this concludes the pictures and tales of our trip ... finally! Most of you have probably all seen the complete set of 300 photos. It was a great time, and I have made a CD of just the historical parts to show at school this fall on my SMARTboard (a whiteboard that connects to a computer and can do all sorts of cool things!) Stay tuned for the further summer adventures of the Caseys. Hopefully I can get everything posted this weekend before summer is officially over.

Your trip sounds great (all 3 parts of it)! We haven't been any further north than Washington DC on the East Coast. Guess we better get traveling to keep up with the Casey's!
