Accidental Vacation day 3

This morning we saw the purported location of the first battle between the pilgrims and the Indians shortly after we left Connecticut and got into Rhode Island.  It’s over Val’s left shoulder.

DSCN0108 Rhode island was beautiful but hardly counts as a State it’s so tiny.  It does have the barking crab restaurant though which is cool.

Oh and they have corn in Rhode Island too.  :)

We then went to Newport and did the cliff walk and saw a bunch of the mansions on the water.

After the walk and some clam chowder and pizza for lunch we headed up to Boston for state number 3 of the day.  We followed the red line around the city for the historic walk which seemed to have an excessive number of cemeteries.  Here’s John Hancock’s burial plot which is in the same lot as several other signers of the declaration of independence and such.

Not much to say about these…

We’re now in Peabody, MA and will head through New Hampshire and up to Maine tomorrow.  We’ll probably start back south too, but we’ll see.
