Concord & Lexington & Waldon Pond

We started off our Boston trip with Concord and Lexington.
Waldon Pond
This is part of a 5 mile stretch of road that the British soldier marched on on the way back to Boston. The Americans hid in the trees and picked them off.
There wasn't much in Lexington. This is the battle monument.
One of the brass cannon that the Americans stole from the British that the British marched to Concord to take back.
The North Bridge. This is the place where Americans fired upon the British troops for the first time. You normally could walk across pass the statue over to the other side, but since we have had all of this rain, we couldn't.
Meg's favorite part of the trip. Throwing sticks in the flood water.
Back in Concord, at the battle road. That marker says 13.25 miles back to Boston.
