Trip to MA!


We got back yesterday from a really nice visit in Brockton, MA. We were treated royally and enjoyed getting to know the people and the area a little. On Saturday the Pastor and his family took us to Plymouth where we enjoyed a historical tour of the important Pilgrim sites. We ended our tour with a lunch overlooking the bay eating the catch of the day!
From top to bottom these are the sites in the pictures.
1. Memorial to Adoniram Judson, One of his wives and some other family members are buried there.
2. Monument to the Founding Fathers.
3. Grave of William Bradford.
4. First Pilgrim fort.
5-6. Replica of the Mayflower.
7. Plymouth Rock
8. The pastor's family--John and Robin Beals, Zachary (10) and Alexandra (9).
9. View of beautiful Plymouth Bay.

So enjoyed hearing about your trip. There is nothing like New England to encourage you to learn some history!

We enjoyed the play-by-play report over dinner tonight. Thanks, Bri & Jo! (How do you like my attempt at abbreviating their names? ;-) At first I put "B & J", but that looked too much like Bob & Jennie's "B & J". So then I put "Br & Jo". But "Br" sounds a little too much like the expression an eskimo might make on a cold day in the igloo. So then I had to at least had a vowel to Brian's name. So instead of shortening the length of time I needed in order to type in their an appellation for the youngest couple of the Bob Bixby clan, I ended up taking about 10 more minutes than I had expected to need just to jot a quick comment on this blog. In the mean time, I'm thinking, yea, even hoping, that Tim may have finished the dishes. ;-)

BTW, Jen, I don't think a final decision has been made, but they are pretty positive. I'll let them tell ya the rest later.

No, there hasn't been a decision, but we did have a really good visit. We'll have to call and share all.

We are sitting by the phone!

Aunt B said...

Let's make that a conference call! ;-)

Looks like a beautiful place!
