Boston



We left the FMCA Rally on Sunday and headed east to Normandy Farms Campground in Foxboro, Massachusetts. This is a large campground that is full of campers, with lots of activities for adults and kids. A lot of the campgrounds we have stayed at this summer have been less than full, and quite frankly, we wonder how they are able to stay open. So we're glad to see one that is full and doing well. 

We are only a few miles from Gillette Stadium, home of the New England Patriots. You can see the stadium from the highway as you drive along north on Highway 1.

Yesterday Andy's cousin Peter offered to go with us to downtown Boston so we could see some of the historic sites. We took the commuter train downtown and then set out walking. It was a perfect day, low humidity, a nice breeze and not too hot.

Thanks, Peter, for being our guide! We had a great time.
