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.

One of our favorite places on "the Keys" is this beautiful state park. There are several state parks along the Keys but some reason we are drawn to this one.
