Vacation Pics! Nascar, Salem, Plymouth and Boston.

I finally have my vacation pics uploaded and I thought I would share some.

First we went to a NASCAR race in New Hampshire

I had to walk through this crowd just to get a shirt for Brandon, Anna and Mark. Geesh, the things I do for the ones I love

Alden and I at New Hampshire International Speedway

Pit Road

Here they come!

For Anna and Amy. Tony in the lead. He sure was stong but didn't quite have enough at the end.

Who might that be behind the pace car?

It's Mark Martin! Even though he didn't win it sure was a thrill to see our favorite driver lead some laps.

I caught a pic of Alden just as Robby Gordon crashed into Michael Waltrip

We had front row seats and were pretty close to the cars as they came around.

Because we were down so low we couldn't see the whole track. That was ok though because it seemed like all the action happened on the side we could see. Boy, it sure was a fun and exciting race!

Next we went to Salem where we took a tour through the Witch House

Took a tour through "The House of Seven Gables"

Saw some pretty gardens

Went to The Salem Witch Museum

We enjoyed the beautiful scenery

Took an evening carriage ride through the town

We walked through the Salem Cemetary when it was very dark and no one was around....very spooky!

Then the next day I turned into a WITCH!

From Salem we headed to Plymouth where we saw

The Mayflower II, which is a replica of the Mayflower and was built in 1950's

This guy was aboard the Mayflower and he was awesome. I could have sat and listened to him talk all day.

Plymouth Rock Memorial

We went to the old cemetery in Plymouth also and noticed that they had some strange carving on their tombstones

Next we saw Plimouth Plantation. I loved it there. It was a village set up like the pilgrims might have lived and everyone was in character and I loved talking to them.
Walking to the fort

Canons at the top of the fort

Over at the Indian side

From Plymouth we moved on to Boston. I could have spent several days in Boston. So much to see and do there.
Statue of Paul Revere. Notice the shoes on the horse.

Would have loved to have went to see a game.

The Boston Public Library. I could have spent the day in there. It was gorgeous!

Me in one of the pews at the Old North Church

Of course all of your pictures were just wonderful Robin, and thanks for the Tony pictures and getting us the shirts...you know you didn't mind

I'm glad you and Alden were able to get some time together for a while and have a good time!

**shais_mom** · 10-03-2005, 10:35 AM

awesome pics Robin!
Looks like you had a fabulous time!

Oh Robin! I loved seeing all the great pics. Looks like you had a great time! Boston is such a fabulous city, so much history and so doable in size! Isn't Plimouth Plantation the best??? My husband is always trying to get the "interperters" to break character...e.g. "So, how about those Red Sox?" It's amazing that the entire village was built from nothing more than the tools and materials available to the original colonists! A few times we have Thanksgiving dinner there on the Plantation. So authentic!
I'm heartsick to think that you and Gini both were so close and I missed seeing you. I live only 25 or so minutes from Plymouth. I would have loved to have met up with you but I've been in such a funk and behind on Pet Talk doings; my apologies and my loss But I'm so happy to know you had a blast! Come again, please!
Love, Sandra
