9/6/08 Something Old, Something New

Today we toured the Adams National Historic Site and saw all the homes that Adams lived in (except the White House) as well as the homes that his son John Quincy Adams lived in. One of the homes was about 300 years old! The home he purchased as vice president stayed in the family for 4 generations and is completely full of all their original items, even including original wallpaper – that’s wallpaper over 200 years old! It was so interesting to learn about their lives. I’m going to HAVE to watch the recent HBO series in the near future. Then we toured the JFK Presidential Library and Museum. It was fabulous, well done and fascinating. The girls enjoyed the day, as did I.
