Before leaving Hingham I finally was able to get a picture of this sign. Massachusetts has one for each of their towns and it's such a kick to drive from one town to another and see this sign with date of settlement started. Hard to get pictures because you don't know where the town line begins and there is no place to pull over for a quick stop and picture. It's a bummer. On this one I was lucky enough after a month to be driving towards sign and 1st at stoplight with camera next to me. ha! All these towns are so historic and have some wonderful history.

The weather turned ugly and we left Greenbelt early Saturday morning thinking we would beat the rush onto the roads. Wrong; we stopped at a Costco in Manassas which was on the way and you would have thought it was the week before Christmas; goodness the entire parking lot was full.

Happy to be back even if we are only passing thru..
